Organic Evening Primrose Oil

Organic evening primrose oil delivers all the benefits of evening primrose oil but without the addition of pesticides or herbicides. The oil from the primrose flower has been shown to provide a variety of benefits to users.

Organically raised plants may be superior to those grown conventionally.

Evening primrose oil is ingested in capsule form and can also be drizzled over food. It is purported to have several benefits, although not all of these claims have been verified by scientific analysis:

• Treatment for itchy skin and eczema
• Reduction of inflammation
• Treatment for ailments associated with the menstrual cycle
• Relief of the symptoms of menopause
• Reduction of high blood pressure
• As an anti-aging treatment

Some natural health practitioners also recommend these capsules for use with patients affected by diabetes and cancer.

Since evening primrose oil is either ingested or applied topically, many users want to make sure that the oil has as little chemical additives as possible. Organically grown evening primrose flowers must adhere to stringent standards in order to be certified as organic. The flowers must not be exposed to certain potentially harmful pesticides, herbicides, or other toxic elements. Fertilizers used when growing the flowers – if any – must be organic and cannot contain toxic chemicals. There can be no use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) when producing organic evening primrose oil.

Producers of oil from organic evening primrose flowers claim that the benefits of organic oil are vastly superior to those from conventionally grown flowers. They also claim that the difference between the two is evident from a mere glance at the two oils; organic oil is darker in color than the oil created from conventionally grown flowers.

Health food stores commonly carry this type of oil in both organic and conventionally-grown form. Consumers can expect to pay a little extra for the oil from organically grown flowers than for conventionally grown flowers. Organic oil takes additional labor to produce and the flowers must adhere to stricter standards, resulting in a higher price.

Grocery stores and other mainstream merchants may carry this product, but look closely to make sure that you are purchasing an organic product. Look for a seal that assures that the product is certified organic by an inspection agency.
