Exploring the Benefits of Primrose Oil: All You Need to Know

Ang evening primrose oil (EPO) ay langis mula sa mga buto ng halamang yellow evening primrose wildflower o Oenothera biennis. Ang oil na ito ay sagana sa linoleic acid and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) na siyang nakakatulong magpahupa ng inflammation sa katawan. Many women use EPO para maibsan ang sakit na dulot ng premenstrual syndrome (PMS) at maging ng menopause-related symptoms, as well as helping with skin conditions.
