User Reviews for evening primrose oil

This oil has been a MIRACLE for me! I was suffering from almost constant sweating, day and night, in cold hot temperatures, honestly it negatively affected my quality of life. I was having severe PMDD and premenopausal symptoms. I bought this on a whim, I tried black finish with minimal results. Within 3-4 days I noticed that I was not sweating alot anymore. Honestly, I had to change my clothes twice during a work day and I work in a very cold house with a patient of mine (I am a nurse). I have stopped ALL sweating and now only sweat during expected times exercise or out in the heat of Louisiana. This oil WORKS and works WELL. I encourage every woman to try this, I am 38 years old and I started to have this problem three years ago. I did not want go ANYWHERE because I knew that peoole would look at me and wonder why I was DRENCHED in sweat while just shopping at a store. This is also incredibly inexpensive and I found it in Wal-Mart under the Spring Valley product line. Buy this oil, you will not regret it!!Read More Read Less

I use to get abdominal cramping every day of the month. Then when my period would start, the pain was almost unbearable. I began taking 1000mg EPO daily (never on an empty stomach!!!). All cramps disappeared. I would even start my period without realizing it. Mood swings eased. I bought this at Walmart. Took it for years. Stopped at start of menopause for some reason. After no periods for a couple of years, I decided to take it again for other benefits. I started having periods! Didn't want that, so, I stopped it. Did that twice. Both times, started periods. Stopped taking again. Now 60 yrs old. Gonna try it again. Haven't had period in over 10 yrs. If it starts again, this is some powerful stuff.Read More Read Less

Two months I started taking Evening primrose for the pain. I would get awful pain every month in my breasts , the pain was pretty terrible. I went to my doc she told me to try these. This is my second month taking them . Today I came on my period and I've had no pain at all , I'm not the best at keeping track of my period so my sore Breasts would be my tell tail sign but it wasn't this month . So ladies if you suffer from sore breast I would absolutely recommend evening primrose ????

an absolute wonder drug, in my opinion, my night sweats and hot flushes have stopped and my skin is glowing

I wish I had known about this treatment earlier in my life. I now take HRT and that gave me Mastalgia quite badly. I also take Vitamin E, I believe that helps also.

Bought EPO for my mood. Some of it 1is related to hormones but was never sure if it was all hormonal or only part. I find it has really helped my mood, my attitude and negativity! even now im due my period any day and I havent felt down or irritable or sensetive! I tell others about it and no one listens. I take 2000 every morning.

I had. Continue pain in my breast ,today is my 2 day of treatment with primrose and I feel better is incredible that scientist aren't paying attention to this supplement without of chemical it is work believe me it is the best I recommend it 100%

I started taking evening primrose after talking with a good friend about PMS Symptoms (severe cramping and nausea, bloating, and heavy bleeding). She had been using EPO for years and suggested I try it. EPO has made a world of difference during my cycle. The cramping is minimal, hardly any bloating, no nausea and the bleeding is normal again. I've also noticed a change in my skin; it's not dry and adult acne is minimal to none at all. I thank her all of the time for suggesting EPO.

I use Evening Primrose Oil (on a non-regular basis) as a suppository for menopausal dryness and burning in the vagina. It is a wonder drug! I swear by it. Each time I use it, the burning is history. I haven't used it enough to get into a routine, so don't really know how often I should be using it. But,because I was so excited about the burning and dryness, I didn't even stop to think that it reduces my hot flashes by more than 75%. If I do happen to have a hot flash, the intensity is not so severe. I would highly recommend using this product Read More Read Less

I have taken 1000mg gel caps once a day for four days. Three out of the four days I have had severe stomach, abdominal cramps

Was experiencing chronic breast pain 15 year post breast cancer. The doctor suggested Primerose oil twice daily. Thought I was being led down the Primerose path until I had been on it for two weeks and the discomfort subsided. It was amazing!!!

I started taking EPO hoping to eliminate brain fog, fatigue, night sweats and hair loss. The brain fog was the worst! I was told I wasn't in menopause but I bought Barleans 1300 mg tablets and tried it anyway. HUGE difference!! No more hair loss, more energy, brain fog nearly gone (still have it some days) and almost eliminated my migraines. I tried a different brand when I ran out of Barleans and some of my symptoms returned. Now I will only use Barleans. 1300 2 x a day. I'm 49 and it's a miracle in my life for sure!!Read More Read Less

i used this for hot flashes and i was still having a menstrual cycle at 51 years of age. I was always grumpy and I had very dry skin. i started taking 1000mg a day tablets and after 5 weeks the hot flashes were not as frequent and i was sleeping through the night. I have not had a period or hot flashes in 4 months. they have gone completely. my skin is never dry and i am not grumpy. they have been the miracle pill for me i was at the end of my rope with all the hormonal junk. it took me taking the tablets 2 times a day one at breakfast and one at bedtime. they changed my life for the absolute better, my family friends and co-workers have noticed the difference. i have recommended them to every woman who is having hot flashes, menapause and PMS. Even my skin and hair is no longer dry.Read More Read Less

My Dr. suggested Vit E and Evening Primrose when I had very tender breasts and glands under arm pits, 4 days before my period and through the first half of my period. Wasn't too sure if it really helped until I stopped taking it. Wow. Really did help. Helped for menopause symptoms and still take 2 per day for inflammation.

My physician recommended the option of trying the EPO about 5 years ago when my mood swings were so erratic and scary with the start of peri menopause. I took 500 mg daily since then. However, I just recently bought a new jug of EPO and realized the capsules were 1,000 mg so I was afraid to take one a day. My mood started going into the depths of despair again 2 weeks ago and so I decided to take the EPO again - every 2 days. No, I need 1,000 mg daily!! Within an hour of taking the pill I feel my mood lift. Going to start taking 1,000 mg daily. For me it's a miracle herb!!Read More Read Less

I have breast pain and shingle pain. I just started the evening primrose oil. I had shingles 14 years ago and still having trouble.

I use this for Acne, but it was not listed in the pull-down menu. I began taking EP oil not expecting much. Within 3 days I noticed a lessening of inflammation and softening of scars. With ongoing dosing, there is a newness to the skin and red marks from previous acne lesions diminish and actually disappear. An amazing (to me) side effect is that my blood pressure is consistently reading lower than before taking Evening Primrose Oil.

Worked the first day, still having hot flashes but very few and mild.

Knee joint and foot pain. Don't know if it's arthritis or not but, so long as I take Primrose Oil, the pain goes away. When I stop taking it, the pain comes back.
