Properties and benefits of Evening Primrose Oil

Evening primrose oil comes from evening primrose or primrose (Oenothera biennis and Oenothera lamarkiana), a plant native to North America. Evening primrose seeds are subjected to cold pressure obtaining an oil that stands out for its properties
medicinal and healing.

This oil is very rich in essential polyunsaturated fatty acids: linoleic acid (70%) and gamma-linolenic acid (10%), both from the series of Omega 6 acids. These fatty acids are important precursors of various essential cellular mediators for the proper functioning and stability of the membranes of the cells of our body, the development of the nervous and hormonal systems and the regulation of coagulation processes.

The essential fatty acids, since they cannot be synthesized by our organism, must be incorporated with the diet. Linoleic acid, in addition to being present in evening primrose oil, can be found in vegetable oils such as sunflower and grape, as well as dairy, animal fats, seeds and nuts.

On the other hand, when the diet lacks these essential fatty acids, disorders in the heart, circulation, skin, immune system, reproductive system and nervous system can be generated, causing brain dysfunctions.
