Evening Primrose Oil Benefits
Evening primrose oil benefits your body in so many amazing ways.
It is loaded in vitamin E and Omega-6 fatty acids. I am sure you have heard about these omega fatty acids, everyone is always talking about them.
They are needed to do things like, regulate insulin (hormone) use, heart function and your moods.
Also known as EFA’s, they are an important addition to helping you fight aging and stay looking younger.
Your body does not produce EFAs; they must be absorbed through diet or supplementation. In addition to omega 6 fatty acids, the oil of evening primrose contains linoleic acid and gamma linoleic acid (GLA).
Linoleic acid and gamma linoleic acid (GLA), are very important for a host of health reasons, especially for those of you, who are trying to lose weight.
Taking evening primrose oil supplements, along with exercise, will help your body burn fat, fight cancer and heart disease, and may help the body fight production of chemicals that cause inflammation.
Evening primrose is great for relieving the symptoms of PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome) by helping to regulate hormone levels. These symptoms can range from; sore breasts, mood swings, anxiety, depression, water retention, cramping, diarrhoea and severe headaches.
When I was younger I suffered severe abdominal pains, whenever my period was due, once I stared taking evening primrose, I have never suffered from any type of symptom again.

Evening primrose oil fertility is certainly gaining some recognition as it may help women fall pregnant. It does this by increasing the quality of the cervical mucus, which is needed to help the sperm swim freely through the cervix.
When a woman ovulates, her cervical mucus will increase and change in consistency. This mucus is very important, as it helps the sperm remain alive for up to 5 days inside the uterus and fallopian tube, enabling conception. This can happen even if ovulation has occurred days after intercourse.
Make sure the oil of evening primrose you take is cold pressed, as this process helps to keep all the essential nutrients.
