Beautiful and powerful evening primrose

I found this lovely specimen of Evening Primrose (Oenothera biennis)  all on its own at Alver Valley Country Park Gosport UK. I’ve used it myself and have heard much about the oil but have never seen it in growing in the wild. It is chock full of gamma linolenic acid and prostaglandin precursors. It helps to reduce blood clotting, cholesterol and to lower blood pressure. It alleviates skin problems such as eczema and can help to improve tendon reflexes and reduce numbness. Its most well known use is to help combat PMS (irritability and breast tenderness ) but also to reduce joint pain and inflammation.  I have some great quality capsules here at the clinic 😃😃 #herbalmedicine #medicalherbalism #medicalherbalist #medicalherbalisthampshire #alvervalley
