EVENING PRIMROSE OIL BENEFITS 

The Evening Primrose Oil Benefits presented here are excerpted from Dr. Elson M. Haas' work Staying Healthy with Nutrition. - Evening Primrose Oil comes from the seeeds of the evening primrose plant which contains a high amount of it's active ingredient, GLA, an oil much like the essential fatty acids (EFA) of the omega 6 variety. In fact, GLA is a precursor of the EFA arachidonic acid, but even more important is it's potential therapeutic benefits, GLA leads to the important prostaglandin E1 series (PGE1). The use of evening primrose oil as a nontoxic source of GLA is a good mix of nutrition and herbal medicine.

Actually, this night-blooming, bright yellow flowering plant is not a true primrose but is part of the willow-herb family. The name comes from the fact that it flowers resemble those of the primrose plant. This herb has been used medicinally for centuries - externally for a poultice for skin problems and internally to treat a variety of complaints, such as asthma, gastrointestinal problems, or to enhance wound healing. Native Americans used this plant and it's seeds commonly, and in England it was known as "King's Cure All."

Studies on evening primrose oil benefits have focused on the skin and the joints. This oil has proven effective in treating atopic dermatitis and atopic eczema (atopy is genetic allergy potential and involves eczema, asthma, and hay fever), and researchers have measured it's quieting effects on the immune system. Evening primrose oil is clearly able to reduce antibody levels in these conditions, although not as much as some prescription medications. Given the fact that these prescription medications have unwanted side effects, however, I would call these results positive. Clear benefits for the use of evening primrose oil have also been shown in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. In some studies where the benefits were mild instead of significant, I believe the dose of evening primrose oil used and the duration of the study partly account for the lack of stronger results.
