User Reviews for evening primrose oil

I don't know where i found the advise anymore but this gentleman was looking for help for his wife who had so much vaginal pain! He was advised by someone to put the oil on! Now i tried that and in an instant i am talking 15 min..the pain eased! We use the oil now as an lubricant and it is the best after years of using rubbish lubricants . Now who would have taught that he? Thanks to the gentleman who was so concerned for his elderly wife i was finally rid of the pain!

I began taking evening Primrose shortly after a hysterectomy. I had round ligament pain from the surgery. After reading up several people suggested evening primrose. Pain Medicineâ??s did not take the pain away. So I tried evening primrose and within 10 minutes the pain disappeared. At that time I suffered from psoriasis. After being on evening primrose for several months I noticed that all symptoms of psoriasis had disappeared. I assumed it was from the evening primrose, but wasnâ??t sure. For a short time I stopped taking a P. After a month or so I noticed all my psoriasis symptoms returned. So I returned to taking the supplement. Again, all symptoms of psoriasis disappeared. So I see that studies do not always support this, but in my case it was extremely effective.Read More Read Less

This is not an "ad" for EFA Gold. It is only my personal,unpaid experience. I know no one who works or is involved with Nature's Way--just a little disclaimer. I have taken Nature's Way EfaGold Evening Primrose Oil for about 20 years. (I take 4-1300mg capsules 6 days a week.) THIS IS THE ONLY BRAND I TAKE.(I took many other brands but this is the ONLY one that improved my health.) I was diagnosed by two physicians with Sjogren's Syndrome AND they also kept telling me I most likely had multiple sclerosis (and chronic fatigue syndrome. I went from doctor to doctor for several years trying to find out what was wrong.) I was using OTC lubricating drops in my eyes all day and and an OTC goopy, oily lubricant at night(didn't help much). The Rx Restasis caused my eyes to get horribly red, painful and scratchy and I stopped it after a few days. Now I use OTC drops a few times a week. Because of the constant dry eyes and horrible body aches, I resigned work years ago and continued the EFAGold EPO. I do not have anywhere near the degree of symptoms I had 20 years ago. I occasionally have some fatigue at times now, can get achy when it is stormy and cold, but I'm 68!! Overall, I have improved beyond IMMENSELY. I know I would be wheelchair or bed bound by now if not for EFA Gold EPO. There's just no other explanation for my huge improvement--these autoimmune diseases don't just magically go away.

Only thing that has helped with mood related symptoms around PMS. Iâ??m surprised it is dismissed for this purpose in the information on webmd. I would recommend it to anyone struggling with Pms as there seem to be so few treatments that are helpful on the market.

I used Evening Primrose Oil as a vaginal suppository for pain/burning in the vagina. I had.suffered with this off and on for a few years and been to the 2-3 OBGYNs, and they could not give me an exact diagnosis as to why I had the burning, but always wanted to give me hormones to treat it. I am not really a fan of hormones. The results were immediate with the evening primrose oil, with no more burning! Not until a few days later did I realize that my hot flashes had diminished in frequency by probably 80%...when I did have one, they were not as intense. I have only used this on a irregular basis..once every other week or so, so I have yet to set a pattern, but I am very impressed with what I have felt so far. The results were awesome and miraculous, since nothing has worked in the past. Read More Read Less

since taking Evening primrose oil I have experienced a decrease in cramping and bloating. It has been very good for me, I would recommend to others that suffer PMS.

I started taking these to ease the burning pain in my breasts from peri-menopause. I have discovered that xanthelasmata is a side effect of these tablets. The xanthelasmata only appeared since I began taking EP Oil.

I was taking 500 mg right before going to bed at night to help with hot flashes. It greatly reduced the severity of the flashes. And I really noticed when I ran out of them and stopped taking for a few days. My flashes were back and more severe. Just bought some more today!

Having tried other things I was about to resort to HRT when I remembered about evening primrose oil I took it a few years ago for breast pain and it helped a lot now I have been taking it for 6 months and within 6 weeks of starting to take it my hot flashes have disappeared . Give it a go for 6 weeks

I am 41 and am experiencing perimenopause. Hot flashes started a few months ago...HORRIBLE! Started taking 500mg Evening Primrose at night and OMG hot flashes are almost non existent! Really works!!!!

It made my skin greasy, broke me out, and made me itchy all over. It even made my hair greasy. That was after only about a week of use.

I look much younger than my 56 years,often being told I look in my 30's but I take this and many others including a supplement available in UK : Menapol

I have been taking this for about a week and a half and all my PMS symptoms are gone or greatly reduced.

EVENING PRIMROSE OIL 1300MG HEALTHAID

Started getting hot flashes - started taking Evening Primrose Oil 1000 mgs 2x per day, I might be over doing the dosage, noticed a difference by the next evening. I also started taking Royal jelly

Benefit is not consistent. Most of the days, i am relieved of hot flashes but there will be occurrences of attack of hot flash despite taking it daily. Also, after taking it for 5 months, the efficacy seems to diminish.

I was having long strong hot flashes more than once per hour for a year. Finally, a couple months ago, I tried taking Evening Primrose Oil (500mg softgel) with breakfast and dinner. Within one day my many strong hot flashes turned into one short hot suggestion every few days. I am sleeping better now that I'm not awakened by strong hot flashes several times per night. I have not experienced any negative side effects so far.

I took Evening Primrose Oil for a few weeks, but noticed that I became moody and flat emotionally. I felt unmotivated. It did trigger my menstrual cycle too, so this definitely does something with the hormones for women. I know EPO works for some, but I'm one of those that had somewhat of an adverse reaction to it that was not pleasant.
