Evening Primrose – A Natural Remedy for Skin

and Nerves

This plant is called evening primrose because its owers

open at sunset. Each bloom lasts for only one night. Our
forefathers would use it to make a poultice for bruises,
wounds, and skin eruptions. Turns out they were right.

This plant contains two subs tances our skin needs but
cannot produce on its own (gamma-linolenic acid and
linolenic acid ).
