    Default Evening Primrose Oil

    Does anyone use this? What sort of results have you had from it?

    Apparently it's good for the skin and PMS.

    My mom takes it for menopause hot flashes. I don't know how good it is for the skin though.

    My gyno actually recommended this as I was getting SERIOUS boobie tenderness and swelling (well... the swelling i can live with! ) , it was to the point that I couldn't really hug people.

    Haven't tried it though, didn't know it helped for all that, too.

    Ive heard a lot of good about it concerning menopause and PMS. I've taken it only at the last bit of my pregnancies

    I take it & it helps a lot. Costco sells it in bulk size (Nature Made brand) & it's better to go that route if you need it in medicinal doses.

    It's a good natural anti-inflammatory.

    A coworker suggested this to me to help with my hot flashes (perimenopause sucks!)

    I'm going to have to go get some because people are laughing at me when I stick my head in the freezer!

    It also helps to relieve feminine dryness. I had a problem there for a while, and I can tell you, it did make a good sized difference, but nothing too amazing... I was only takign half the recomended dose though, as it did make me have to poop a lot if I took it during the day.

    I've been taking it for PMS and it has made a world of difference. I use to bloat horribly two weeks before my cycle started and get really moody.

    Now I don't bloat until a day or two before and my moods are a lot more level. I take it everyday and double up two weeks before my cycle.
