Evening Primrose Oil has earned a well deserved reputation as being effective for the relief from the symptoms of PMT. But the therapeutic action of this popular herb goes much further than this, offering health benefits for men and women alike. While women can't avoid menstruation, many find they can relieve the breast tenderness, irritability and bloating of MPT with regular use of EPO. The active component of EPO is an essential fatty acid known as Gamma Linolenic Acid. Women also find a beneficial side-effect of EPO is smoother, more supple skin, shinier hair and stronger nails.

EPO can also be used for temporarily reducing the pain and inflammation of arthritis.
