It contains large amounts of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which is only found in trace amounts in our food, while our body needs it for hormonal balance, to control internal inflammation, autoimmune diseases associated with chronic inflammation and for skin, hair and nail health. Gamma-linolenic acid is the building block of hormones and hormone-like compounds (prostaglandins), controlling internal inflammation and autoimmune diseases associated with chronic inflammation.
Evening Primrose oil supports proper thyroid hormone production, relieves the triggers and accompanying symptoms of menopause, PCOS, endometriosis, PMS, such as estrogen dominance, high cortisol levels, hot flushes, overweight, fibrocystic breast pain, cysts, irregular menstrual bleeding, infertility, bloating, watery skin, acne, depression, irritability and migraine headaches.
Evening Primrose also promotes conception by having a direct effect on the cells of the uterus. Several studies confirm that it slows down premature ageing of the skin, which is triggered by hormonal imbalances. It is highly recommended in cases of hormonal hair loss, where the hair crown becomes visibly thinning or, in more severe cases, patchy baldness appears. It also reduces skin conditions such as acne, eczema, rosacea or psoriasis, where patients already have low GLA levels.
Anti-inflammatory limpseed oil is a proven adjunct in autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis - and even better results can be achieved when combined with Omega3 EPA and DHA fatty acids. The combination of PUFA fatty acids (EPA, DHA, gamma-linolenic acid) has been shown to help relieve inflammation and nerve damage associated with multiple sclerosis, insulin resistance and diabetes.
Evening Primrose oil also aids alcohol cessation. GLA stimulates the brain to produce a type of prostaglandin, prostaglandin E, which prevents withdrawal symptoms and depression and indirectly protects the liver and nervous system and supports brain function.
And as an added bonus, gamma-linolenic acid is the perfect shaper, as it inhibits the growth of fat cells and helps break them down, leading to weight loss.
Did you know? Evening Primrose oil is also needed as a complementary treatment for osteoporosis, where the main trigger is also hormonal imbalance.
