In recent years, people's pursuit of essential oils has become fanatical year by year. Aromatherapy based on essential oils is also gaining more and more attention and recognition as a type of complementary medicine. Since single essential oils (pure essential oils) are relatively irritating, we need to use a base oil to dilute them before applying them to the skin to reduce irritation to the skin.
Base oil is a non-volatile vegetable oil extracted from the fatty parts of plants (seeds, kernels, fruits). It not only has the effect of lubricating the skin, but many base oils also have certain medical effects. As a kind of base oil, Evening Primrose Oil has far more effects than simply diluting essential oils. Today we are going to talk about the evening primrose oil that female friends have praised in recent years!
Evening Primrose Oil is a natural vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the evening primrose plant and is rich in nutrients and has a variety of benefits. This oil is rich in Omega-6 fatty acids, especially gamma-linolenic acid, as well as antioxidants such as vitamin E. Here are some benefits of Evening Primrose Oil.
1. PMS: More and more women are taking evening primrose oil capsules to relieve premenstrual syndrome. Many women with dysmenorrhea have lower levels of GLA in their bodies. This may be why taking evening primrose oil is considered effective.
2. Anti-Inflammatory Effects: The gamma-linolenic acid in evening primrose oil is thought to have anti-inflammatory effects, helping to reduce the symptoms of inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and skin inflammation.
3. Endocrine Regulation: Some research suggests that evening primrose oil may have an impact on women's menstrual cycles and hormone levels, helping to relieve menstrual discomfort and regulate estrogen levels.
4. Skin Care: Evening primrose oil is used in skin care products because of its ability to moisturize the skin, maintain skin elasticity and promote wound healing. It is also thought to help reduce skin problems such as dryness, itching, and inflammation.
5. Cardiovascular Health: Some research suggests that Evening Primrose Oil intake may help lower cholesterol levels and improve cardiovascular health, but research in this area is still ongoing.
Overall, Evening Primrose Oil, as a natural health and skin care ingredient, has a wide range of applications and potential benefits. However, use should be made under the guidance of a physician or health care professional for specific illnesses or health concerns.
