Spotlight on Evening Primrose Seed – also known as – Field primrose. Night herb. Sundrop. Kings cure-all.
Native to North America but widely naturalised elsewhere, the faintly fragrant flowers open in the evening and have an affiliation with the cycle of the moon.
The seeds are rich in essential fatty acids, especially GLA, which has proved
beneficial in pre-menstrual moods, breast tenderness, anti-clotting and is
nourishing and enriching for the skin and soothing to skin irritation.
