Pranarôm Evening Primrose is a food supplement in capsules, rich in gamma-linoleic acid (GLA), linoleic acid and polyunsaturated fatty acids essential for the human body. It is used to improve dry, striated, ageing, flaking and cracked skin. It relieves itching and reduces allergic symptoms in skin with atopic tendencies.
This oil helps to regulate menstrual cycles and soothe the annoying symptoms they cause. It helps to thin the blood and dilate blood vessels to lower bad cholesterol levels. It is essential in the formation of prostaglandins, hormone-like substances that help regulate blood pressure and blood clotting.
The fatty acids in evening primrose oil also balance the immune system and stimulate the nervous system. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, these acids contribute to the correct development of foetal tissues (nerves, retina, brain, etc.). It is a female hormone regulator which helps with the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, improving bloating, headache and breast pain, cramps and haemorrhages.
For menopause, it calms hot flushes, vaginal dryness, muscle aches, insomnia, tiredness and irritability. In people at high cardiovascular risk, it prevents the lack of blood supply to certain areas of the brain and the build-up of plaque which narrows the arteries.
Evening primrose oil has reinforcing, anti-rheumatic and anti-inflammatory effects and supports the treatment of degenerative conditions. This is because it stimulates the interaction between neurons and regulates brain neurotransmitter levels.
