While all parts of the
evening primrose

One of the many uses of evening primrose oil is to
counteract the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome
. This oil contains 8-10 percent GLA which is higher than many plants. By using evening primrose, many women notice breast pain, bloating,
depression
, and cramps are reduced each month. Some women have even found the symptoms have disappeared altogether. Follow the oral dosing instructions on the package to receive the most benefit from this oil.

eczema or another common skin problem
? If you look at the ingredients on commercial skin treatments, you may find evening primrose oil listed on the label. This powerful oil has been proven effective for treating rashes, dry skin,
eczema

Evening primrose oil is taken orally over the course of the day to treat
eczema
or atopic dermatitis. It can be given to children and adults. Dosages are generally determined by weight and guidelines are printed on the label.

osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis
