Increase in vaginal moisture.

This has been very effective for reducing PMS symptoms. Cramping is very minimal. My skin is clearer. Very pleased with this remedy.

I've been having hot flushes, for a while, but as soon as my periods stopped they got worse, so I search the Internet for help and read about the possibility that evening primrose would help, I started taking 1000mg capsules x2 three times a day and instantly I had no flushes, and enjoying life much more, knowing I'm not going to been sweating and ripping my clothes off every time I had a flush. I honestly hand on heart say evening primrose has work for me.

I tend to get moderate mood swings for 7-10 days before my period starts. I take one pill at night when I remember during that time. I think taking it consistently for more than a week straight interfers with GABA and others so I take it somewhat sporadically. When I am PMSing I feel like I can't put up with any bs so I will gget really angry or cry or be loving at small stimulus. I find that the Evening Primrose oil makes me have vivid dreams about subconscious issues that I tend to push away. Upon waking I can evaluate the dream and its message and it helps me resolve things. This helps me lessen the "unexplainable" bursts of emotion. Read More Read Less

Have used 1000mg capsules for 6 weeks and it has definitely helped with the painful breasts, acne and fluid retention which has slowly been taking over 3 weeks out of 4 . Very impressed, long may it last!

Omg I am so happy no more hot flashes

I have been taking Evening Primrose capsules 1000mg twice daily for over a year. It has completely stopped my hot flashes. I know that it works because I had to stop my Evening Primrose for a procedure because of possible bleeding interaction and after 3 days of not taking it, here comes my hot flashes again. Evening Primrose capsules 1000mg twice daily really works for hot flashes!!

Daughter, preteen and up, was so miserable with inner turmoil and angst and 'crying jags' that life was horrible at 'that' time of the month until I heard about Oil of Evening Primrose. after starting it took a couple of months for my daughter to say, after a tirade, 'I think I should go take a "pill", huh'. WOW I WAS SHOCKED she could tell a difference! I tell mothers when talking about similar issues, 'run' do not walk to buy some. I decided to treat her for the 'period' only and not for the entire month. This worked for her, it may not for everyone. Now we are again buying it for my granddaughter. Hope we get the same wonderful results!! PS: sure wish I had known about this when I was young... Read More Read Less

I have used the oil for my son's eczema and it has worked brilliantly. It was so effective that we now only have to use it when he is starting to have a flare up.

I am a retired podiatrist who recommended Oil of Evening Primrose for diabetic patients (and others who had annoying neuropathic symptoms such as burning, itching, and stabbing pains that kept them awake at night, etc. 50% of them were very grateful for the recommendation. The other 50% were not angry because there was little cost involved in trying the OTC remedy. I use it effectively for severe itching (neurodermatitis) and have felt greater than 95% relief of those symptoms. Usual dose: 2,600 mg per day.Read More Read Less

I sleep better at night with menopause!

This absolutely worked for me! Unfortunately, my husband and I are looking to have a child, so my OBGYN told me not to take it anymore. It's actually used to help INDUCE labor. This said, I have noticed a HUGE difference. Back to being depressed and unmotivated before and during my period. For those ladies out there that want to give it a try and aren't looking to have kids, check with your Dr. first, but I took one in the morning and one at night time. It took over a month for results, but this was a miracle for me. Read More Read Less

I kept reading about using opened capsules for pain vaginal area, It stopped the burning pain within a minutes. I will wait to see if it works for deeper pain

The moment I took it, no more breast pains, dysmenorrhea, insomnia. Its a miracle pill

Age 51 - I was having hot flashes approximately every hour during the day and 4-6 times during the night for the past 4 months. I started taking Evening Primrose Oil 4 weeks ago. I take 2 x 500mg three times a day and my hot flash occurrences have reduced by about 50 percent. The intesity has not reduced much but they are not severe anyway. I do still waken during the night but am not drenched in sweat so just go through blankets on/off routine numerous times. It's tough not getting a decent sleep.Read More Read Less
