Recently there has been a major buzz in the herbal and Natural
products market about Evening Primrose. I would like to give you
a general overview, history, and benefits of the product.
The botanical name for the evening primrose plant is Oenothera
Biennis, belonging to the plant family Onagraceae. Other common
names are The Fever Plant, Field Primrose, King's Cureall, Night
Willow-herb, Scabish, Scurvish, Sundrop, Tree Primrose. It is
found throughout North America, east of the Rocky Mountains to
the Atlantic Ocean. It got its name Evening Primrose from the
unusual time that it opens its bud, which is normally around six
to seven in the evening.
The plant, when taken internally has been used to treat a very
large variety of ailments, however the most general and widely
sought after effects are for the following: Menopausal symptoms,
depression, spasmodic asthma, lower blood pressure, lower
cholesterol, relieve menstrual cramping, stimulate digestion,
stimulate liver and spleen. When used externally it has also
been used to treat rashes and minor skin irritations.
The suggested dosage is generally 2 x 500mg per day, but it has
been shown that double that is considered much more effective.
This product should be avoided by some people because its
effects may interfere with their health. People taking blood
thinning products, people with epilepsy. Although not indicated
on many bottles, it is suggested that women who are pregnant
should avoid it due to possible hormone effects.
You should be able to purchase Evening Primrose for near 12-15
Dollars US, for 100 500mg capsules.
