Evening Primrose Oil
Ancient Apothecary Evening Primrose Essential Oil
Certified USDA Organic and Non GMO
30mL / 1 ounce
Faintly Sweet Scent
Supports female hormonal balance†
Extracted from the seeds of the
Onagraceae family of plants native to North and South America, evening primrose oil has been used to support health and female hormonal balance † for hundreds of years, but it has multiple beneficial characteristics.
Historically, European settlers and Native Americans used evening primrose, a wildflower that grows in eastern and central North America, for food. The oil is high in essential fatty acids, which are the building blocks for cell membranes and a variety of hormones and hormone-like substances.
Essential fatty acids are necessary for human health, but the body can’t make them. You have to get them through food and/or supplements. Along with omega-3 fatty acids, omega-6 fatty acids play a crucial role in healthy brain function as well as normal growth and development.
In short, the body requires a healthy balance of essential fatty acids, such as omega-6s (found in evening primrose oil and more) and omega-3s (found in fish oil and more). Fats also function as carriers for important fat-soluble vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E and vitamin K.
Packed with gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and more, evening primrose oil has been historically recognized as a strong health supporter. More specifically, oil from the seed of evening primrose, is rich in essential fatty acids, including gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a good-for-you, omega-6 fatty acid.
Evening primrose oil has no scent and can be applied neat (undiluted) to the desired area.
Evening Primrose oil uses:
Rub on the skin to calm itchy areas or to soothe uncomfortable areas.
Drizzle lightly on salads or add to cool or room-temp recipes.
As a supplement, dilute one drop to 4 ounces of water, or place one drop into an empty supplement capsule, and consume. †
During the fall and winter seasons, use on the skin as a daily moisturizer.
Add a drop or two to shampoo and conditioner to nourish the scalp and hair.
Rub evening primrose oil on desired areas, such as muscles or joints, for soothing relief.
Evening primrose oil works well as a carrier oil with many essential oils, including lavender essential oil, lemon essential oil, peppermint essential oil, basil essential oil, rosemary essential oil, rose oil, grapefruit essential oil, orange essential oil and geranium essential oil.

If you need some R & R, why not give this combo of lavender, ylang ylang, clary sage and bergamot a try?
Clean-smelling, soothing lavender can help to promote feelings of relaxation, which can be helpful when you’re trying to unwind.
Lavender essential oil is the most used essential oil in the world today, but the benefits of lavender were actually discovered over 2,500 years ago. Because of its powerful properties, lavender oil benefits abound and it’s been used for cosmetically and for overall health for centuries.
With a sweet, spicy and floral scent, ylang ylang has relaxing, calming and uplifting qualities that can ease what gets in the way of restful sleep. Ylang ylang is the name of a tree native to Indonesia—a tree famed for its fragrant flowers as well as its powerful essential oil, and the name “ylang ylang” comes from the Tagalog term ilang-ilang for the tree—a double pronunciation of the word ilang, meaning “wilderness.”
One of the most popular essential oils for R & R (rest & relaxation) is clary sage because it can help to bust stress, thereby helping to pave the way to relaxation. Clary sage has been historically used for its calming benefits. †
Its relaxing, soothing, and balancing properties are due to its main chemical component, linalyl acetate, part of the esters group.
Likewise, bergamot essential oil has a history of being known for its ability to help alleviate stress. †
As a delicate citrus plant, bergamot needs a special climate and soil so that it can thrive, and is noted for having both uplifting and calming qualities while supporting positive feelings and a positive mindset. †
