Everyone knows that the best preventive vitamin is vitamin C. However, ever since Evening Primrose Oil was discovered, it is as if vitamin C has a competitor on this title.

Native Americans have used this oil to heal a variety of illnesses and even hangovers! Amazing, isn’t it? Today, Evening Primrose Oil is still being used because of its many benefits.
Evening Primrose Oil Benefits
Ladies, you will be happy to know that many of your problems may be solved by the GLA found in this wonderful oil. It relieves the discomforts you experience during menstruation, menopause, endometriosis, PMS and fibrocystic breasts. GLA slows down the production of inflammatory prostaglandins released during menstruation and sometimes stops it all together. Those of you who suffer very strong PMS syndromes actually have low GLA levels that is why the GLA found in the oil helps in relieving it.
People who suffer from rheumatoid arthritis will also be happy to know that the GLA found in the plant significantly lowers down joint pains and swelling. You will easily observe less inflammation if you use the oil on a moderate and regular basis. Skin diseases such as eczema are also prevented.
