Spring Herbal Medicine Chest: Evening Primrose Oil

[Guest guest]

Spring Herbal Medicine Chest: Evening Primrose OilAs the beauty of springtime comes into bloom, so can inflammation, hives and allergic reactions. To help prevent or lessen the effects of springtime woes, such as skin disorders (including eczema and psoriasis) and hair and nail problems (dry, brittle, or splitting), try evening primrose oil. Pressed from the tiny seeds of a native wildflower (Oenothra biennis L), this oil is a rich botanical source of gamma-linoleic acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid that helps support skin, hair and nail health. Available in gel caps, look for products that are cold pressed without the use of solvents. The adult dosage is 500 mg twice per day - children should take half this amount.

 

 

 

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public".
