Common Evening Primrose

Common evening primrose is a flowering plant native to North America, valued for its yellow blooms and oil-rich seeds. The oil extracted from its seeds is rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid that may support skin health, reduce inflammation, and help manage hormonal balance. Traditionally, it has been used to relieve symptoms of conditions like eczema, PMS, and menopausal discomfort. The plant itself blooms in the evening, which is why it's called "evening primrose." It is commonly available as capsules or oils as a dietary supplement.
