Evening
Primrose Oil and Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
One of the
factors thought to play a part in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the auto
immune system. Research suggest that those suffering from MS are
deficient in prostaglandins which results in a weakened immune system
and increases susceptibility to auto immune damage.
Evening
primrose oil is believed to work in the following ways: stimulate
T-lymphocytes, stop platelets from clumping, make faulty red blood cells
return to normal, strengthen blood vessel walls, act as an anti viral
agent, maintain the nervous system and a healthy balance between
Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1 - good guy) and Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2 - bad
guy).
Evening
Primrose Oil and Premenstrual Syndrome
Studies
report 90% of women with Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) get dramatic relief
by using evening primrose oil. Relief was seen in cramping, weight gain,
mood changes, breast discomfort, anxiety, irritability, headaches and
fluid retention.
Research
shows that women with endometriosis and dysmenorrheal (painful
menstruation) also have an imbalance of prostaglandins. Evening primrose
oil has been reported from members of the British Endometriosis Society
to offer relief from symptoms often associated with endometriosis. Such
symptoms include chronic pain, fatigue, irritability, rapid mood swings,
cramping, and heavy bleeding.
