this link contains at least one mistake; this doctor does not seem to be too interested in alternative medecine and her summary is a bit slapdash.
I wouldn't rely too much on what she says based on this page for alternatives.
she lists as the same plant evening primrose and starflower = borage.
they are not at all the same, not even from the same family, do not have the same properties.
borage=starflower is a blue flower while evening primrose is a yellow flower for a start.
borage oil contain omegas 6 and omegas 3 (the ones we all lack) while evening primrose oil contain mostly (if not only) omegas 6 which most people do not need and which need to be balanced in the diet with omegas 3
from a long standing thread i have been reading involving several dozen women from their reckoning evening primrose oil capsules in high dosage shorten long cycles when starflower oil apparently does not.
i took starflower capsules 1gram/day + vitE for a while and it had a noticeable improvement on joint and pain muscle.it also gives a feeling of well being.
I'm not sure of the vitE part in this and do not know long term action on hormones.
-----------------
also she contrasts "herbal" and "traditional" medecine.
But herbal medecine is traditional medecine!
What she calls "traditional" is actually "conventional" or allopatic medecine, the one from the NHS that prescribes us tablets.
regardless what type, medecine is a science and if you are practicing it you better be precise and use the right words.
