| Evening Primrose Oil is one of many popular carrier
oils used in massage, aromatherapy,
and other body-work treatments. However, eving primrose oil (and borage
oil) is highly unsaturated and is therefore more reactive and so less
stable than most other carrier oils.
Evening Primrose Oil (from Oenothera biennis and other very
similar varieties)
is extracted by expressing the oil from the seeds of the plant.
The therapeutic benefits of using Evening Primrose Oil externally e.g.
as a massage medium, are said to include: Beneficial for dry scaly skin,
beneficial for treating dandruff, and for use in cases of psoriasis,
eczema, and for accelerating wound healing.
