Evening Primrose Oil Information

The Evening Primrose plant was used by the North American Indian medicine men since time immemorial, to make an infusion for healing wounds. Evening primrose oil is exceptionally high in fatty acids, and especially in gamma linolenic acid (GLA) which nutrition wise is important to the body, as it affects many of the enzyme functions in the body.

For our purposes, where this oil is used as a carrier medium for essential oils, it is important to note that it is an exceptionally fine textured oil and has superb moisturizing properties. It is indicated as effective in helping with eczema, psoriasis, pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS) rheumatoid arthritis as well as weight reduction.

If you are interested in relieving the itch created by eczema and psoriasis, you could consider using our Pruritus Blend – this contains Evening Primrose.

This oil is further purported to reduce hyperactivity in babies and young children when it is  rubbed onto their skin.

Since the shelf life of Evening Primrose oil is not that great, it is a good idea to mix it with wheatgerm oil to help it keep longer.
