Evening Primrose Oil contains seeds that are one of the richest sources of gamma-linoleic acid (GLA) ~ GLA is an essential fatty acid that is necessary for normal body function. It is rich in comega 6's fatty acids.

Evening Primrose Oil is used for premenstrual conditions such as irritability, breast tenderness and bloating. It is also thought to help regulate weight, prevent cancer & heart disease and help the body make use of insulin.

I have a few friends who take this regularly and swear it helps. Maybe I need to try this to help with TOM!!!

What forms do you take of it?
Do you take a pill or use creams or the oil itself some how?

Mainly pills but they do have a cream of it. The friends I know that take it use it in the form of a pill

I am going to check that out. I struggle with some of these same things.

Do you know if you're supposed to take it regularly or just when the onset of PMS comes on? Is it a preventative thing, is what I want to know.

I looked online and the websites I came across were not very clear in saying definitely daily but the people I know take it daily as a preventative measure. Sorry I could not find the exact answer for you Christy.

No worries girl. I am a new to the herbal thing. Just curious how herbal remedies would differ from over the counter. SO many of us grab a bottle of meds when we have a cold or a headache or a sniffle. After reading this, I wondered if we would continue to treat them the same as the meds or if it is something we should be doing on a regular basis; kinda like taking a multi vitamin every day. I will check WebMD and see what it says. If I find anything I will let you know!
