Evening Primrose

Evening Primrose, also known as Oenothera biennis, is an ideal addition to any garden for its natural benefits. This plant provides a good source of fatty acids which increases the production of anti-inflammatory prostaglandins. This makes it ideal for relieving PMS symptoms such as bloating, discomfort, and painful breast tenderness. Evening Primrose also offers additional health benefits, as it can help prevent cardiovascular disease and relieve arthritis pain. The oil from this plant is also commonly used externally to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, stretch marks, and pimples. Some even use it in salad dressings for an additional boost of nutrients.
