What Are Its Health Benefits.
From regulating your mood swings to controlling your blood sugar levels, the benefits of evening primrose oil are plenty.
1. Helps Treat PMS And Menopausal Symptoms.
Women have been taking primrose oil to treat their hormonal imbalance since years, and all for a good reason.
Studies have shown that the omega-6 fatty acids in the oil help treat menopausal and premenstrual symptoms (PMS).
When a woman undergoes menopause or PMS, she experiences symptoms such as bloating, breast tenderness, acne, or irritability. Making sure to get enough of omega-6 fatty acids, like linoleic acid (LA) and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), can help balance the overall hormone levels in the body.
Another common symptom experienced by most women is hot flashes. A six-week clinical trial study was performed on 56 menopausal women to test the efficacy of evening primrose oil to treat hot flashes. It was found that primrose oil was highly effective in treating and decreasing the frequency of hot flashes.
2. Induces Labor.
There are several natural ways to induce labor if you are past your due date. One of the best ways is to use evening primrose oil.
Its supplements can be either taken orally or inserted vaginally after the 37th week of pregnancy. Studies suggest that it can help shorten the duration of labor.
3. Improves Fertility.
Evening primrose oil can be used to increase fertility in women naturally.
But how.
Evening primrose oil increases the quality of cervical mucus, making it a very fertile ground for the sperm. This facilitates the free movement of the sperm through the cervix.
When a woman does not produce enough cervical mucus or fluid, the motility of the sperm is restricted, and this decreases the chances of conception.
4. Controls Diabetes.
Evening primrose oil helps people with diabetes by preventing its common symptoms and complications.
The GLA in the oil helps relieve nerve pain and prevent nerve damage by reducing the numbness and tingling that is experienced by diabetic patients.
A study was done on diabetic rats to test the effects of evening primrose oil on nerve conduction. It concluded that the oil rapidly reversed the nerve conduction deficits. It also acts as a vasodilator, thus helping to reduce blood pressure.
5. Helps Manage Osteoporosis.
Consuming evening primrose oil regularly helps to reduce the risk of fractures in patients suffering from osteoporosis. This oil improves the bone mineral density and makes your bones stronger and healthier.
A few studies have proved that the presence of GLA in the oil makes it highly effective in the management of osteoporosis,.
6. Aids Weight Loss.
While some studies found that evening primrose oil was quite useful for managing obesity, a few other studies showed no significant benefits of using this for weight loss.
