Menopause Relief from Evening Primrose Oil
The British are conducting in-depth studies to support the menopause and evening primrose oil theory. First, the oil has a wonderful, sweet fragrance that is actually not related to primrose at all. If you look at primrose that grows in the garden, this comes from the Primula family. The evening primrose oil is a biennial plant that often has woody stems, willow-shaped leaves that taste somewhat like pepper, and a strong root system. When the primrose unfolds at night, it reveals a lemon-colored flower that has an amazing sweetness. However, by dawn the next day, the flower already starts to wilt and die, thus the name.
For help with menopause, evening primrose oil is made from the plant’s seeds, which contains special oil comprised of gamma linolenic acid. When taking in capsule form, as described at the start of the article, women state they feel better, noticing the menopausal symptoms to be less intense. The fats and oils found in the plant are essential to overall health, along with the prevention of many chronic diseases. Since the body needs to maintain a healthy dose of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, the primrose provides this.
The problem is that most menopausal women simply do not get an adequate supply of essential fatty acids. These fatty acids help by producing compounds similar to hormones that help maintain membrane function, cut down on swelling and inflammation, constrict blood vessels, control pain, support the body’s natural immune response, prevent blood clots, and so on.
