Evening Primrose Oil

Postby buttgirl » 11 Oct 2007, 12:14

Something I just learned the other day:

:poke: did you know that evening primrose oil is supposed to make mucous membranes produce more mucous?? I was thinking that this may help with the chafing so many of us experience with our bms.

I usually take Evening Primrose oil just as a supplement, but I am planning on upping my dose.

I know it is good for hormonal balance. I think it would be good for PMS or perimenopausal/menopausal symptoms. So it may be good for vag. dryness too.
That is interesting. I may have to check it out. I have used borage oil but got terrible menstrual cramps while on it-I wonder if this would be different.

I'm not sure. I know it has a phyto-estogen in it, like soy isoflavones, so it may very well be good for that. I started taking it years ago because I found that it helped with my rosacea.

i was expecting a poem.
evening primrose oil
how you change my life
your fluid covers me
and soothes all inside
as the moon comes around
i sleep amongst the stars
shiny bright and white
i want to feel peace tonight
evening primrose oil
take this fissure down
save me from the deepest agony
i pray for you now
