It wasn’t until recently that evening primrose oil was used for its amazing health benefits, so you may be surprised to learn about the impact it can have on your hormone health, skin, hair and bones.

Native Americans and European settlers used evening primrose, a wildflower that grows in eastern and central North America, for food. Still today, the seeds of the flower are gathered and cold-pressed for their oil, which is then encapsulated to make dietary supplements.

What is evening primrose oil (EPO) good for? This oil is high in essential fatty acids — which provide the building blocks for cell membranes and a variety of hormones and hormone-like substances.

It’s known to help reduce the pain associated with PMS and menopause and improve chronic skin complaints like eczema, acne and psoriasis. EPO can also be used as an anti-inflammatory agent and is known to be helpful for arthritis and more.

 

1. Hormones (PMS + Menopause Symptoms)

What does evening primrose do to hormones? For starters, women around the world take EPO to naturally treat PMS symptoms because of its essential fatty acid content — plus it may help decrease unwanted menopause symptoms.

During a woman’s premenstrual period, she may experience breast tenderness, bloating, water retention, acne, depression, irritability, foggy thinking and headache. These symptoms reportedly can subside after using evening primrose oil.

 

2. Acne

Is evening primrose oil acne-clearing? Even though there aren’t a lot of studies to prove evening primrose’s benefits for acne, dermatologists are known to recommend it as part of an anti-acne regime.

There are many firsthand accounts by acne sufferers who celebrate its skin-clearing benefits when used externally and/or internally.

Getting a proper balance of omega-3 fatty acids and omega-6 fatty acids from healthy sources (like EPO) may help overcome and prevent hormonal acne. These fatty acids also play a role in cell structure, improving nerve function and promoting skin elasticity.

To take advantage of this evening primrose oil health benefit for hormonal acne. You can put the oil on your face directly. This is known to help with the healing process and improve the overall appearance of your skin.

 

3. Hair Loss

Men and women struggle with hair loss, and sometimes the best way to prevent this issue is with diet or supplements. Hormones in both men and women are responsible for many body processes.

When it comes to hair, hormones play a significant role — including in the hair pattern found on your head, as well as the rest of your body.

While there hasn’t been much research to date on using EPO specifically as a hair loss remedy, since the oil has been shown to improve skin inflammation and dryness, it makes sense that these benefits would transfer to the skin on our scalps and likely help to boost hair growth and quality.

 

4. Skin Health

Evening primrose oil has proved to be a valuable treatment choice for people suffering from skin conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. Studies published in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science have even shown that EPO can also help with age-related structural and functional changes in skin tissues, such as redness, firmness, roughness and fatigue resistance.

Studies prove that evening primrose oil is remarkably effective in relieving many symptoms of eczema, including itching, redness and edema.

Research shows that people with eczema don’t have the normal ability to process fatty acids. This results in a deficiency of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA).

Psoriasis occurs when skin cells replicate too quickly, which results in swollen patches under the skin covered with whitish scales on top. The scaly patches, also known as psoriatic plaques, are areas of inflammation and excessive skin production.

EPO also seems to help naturally treat psoriasis because the essential fatty acids help with hormone balance and digestion.

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic, relapsing, itchy skin condition that commonly starts in childhood. The condition begins with a defective metabolism of essential fatty acids.

 

5. Rheumatoid Arthritis

Some studies show that primrose oil may be a suitable natural remedy for rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition usually caused by a combination of genetic, environmental and hormonal factors.

One study done by Arthritis Research UK measured the effects of evening primrose oil on 49 people. The data found that 94 percent of participants who got evening primrose oil reported a significant improvement of disease-related symptoms, including pain and morning stiffness.
