ok ... evening primrose oil ... what is it supposed to do?

[wannaBe1974]

ok, I know all about cough mixture, grapefruit juice, pre-seed etc, but have read on lots of threads that people take evening primrose oil up till ovulation. so, why is this, what does it do and why only take till ovulation and how much etc?

hello! That sounds interesting! EP has a lot of gamma linoleic acid and its an anti inflammatory but as far as I know it takes MONTHS to build up in your system to make any effect and its traditionally used to restore correct functioning of tissues after the inflammatory response. so most people use it to reduce sore breasts etc. Its very soothing and probably would calm the whole of the reproductive tissues so may help conception. Best asking a herbalist really

EPO is meant to balance hormones but it also has the effect of wettening (is that a word?) CM and therefore giving you better quality EWCM when you need it. Hope that helps.
