Evening Primrose Oil has two main benefits: (a) relieve menstrual problems and (b) maintain healthy skin. In addition, the oil also helps prevent brittle nails, dry eyes and dry mouth and helps maintain healthy hair.

1. Effects on the skin: Evening Primrose Oil helps to make the skin smooth, prevent dryness and reduce excessive loss of water. Some studies have also indicated that the oil may also help slow down the ageing process. These benefits are observed irrespective of whether you take the oil orally as capsules or apply it on the skin.
2. Menstrual problems: Evening Primrose Oil reduces the adverse impacts of premenstrual syn­drome. This is a condition in which some women have one or more of a wide range of symptoms such as nervousness, irritability, emotional distur­bances, depression, pain in the breasts, bloating sensation, headache, nausea, pimples on the face, fatigue, etc. They begin up to ten days before the beginning of menstruation and normally disappear when menstruation starts. Sometimes they may continue for up to two days after menstruation starts.
