Oenothera biennis

 

The flowers are pale yellow, trumpet-like and open only at dusk or on cloudy

days, hence its name. The seed contains many healing Essential Fatty Acids,

chemicals vital for prostaglandin production, hence its reputation as a potent

healer. Containing 10% GLA, the seed oil has been proven in more than 120

scientific studies to be helpful in the following conditions: Atopic Eczema,

Allergy-induced Eczema, Asthma, Migraines, Inflammations, PMS-PMT, Breast

Problems, Metabolic Disorders, Diabetes, Arthritis, Acoholism and Prostatitis.

Other areas where it has been proven to be helpful are lowering High

Cholesterol, lowering High Blood Pressure, balancing the Immunity system,

reducing Acne and other skin problems (Dermatitis), and lessening the severity

of Multiple Sclerosis symptoms.

 

With little doubt, this plant deserves special attention when it comes to

seeking herbal healing. Native Americans or First Nations used the whole plant

for many different indications: Obesity, Bowel Pains, Hemorrhoids, Bruises,

Muscle Pains, Fatigue, Insomnia, restlessness in children (Hyperactivity) and

Menstrual distress, all of which have been proven to have medicinal validation

with modern testing. It's also a mood regulator and contributes to a feeling of

well-being, especially in times of stress. Being the " best source of Tryptophan,

which leads to cerebral serotonin, " it can help or even alleviate incidences of

depression in some cases. Today is it widely prescribed for CFS and Fibromyalgia

patients and to women suffering from PMS-PMT, among many others.
