Sommario/riassunto

Here is the story of the remarkable evening primrose, and the uses to which the oil from its seeds can be put--one of the major ones being in the treatment of premenstrual tension. Unlike most natural products which are on the whole useful for one condition only, the oil of the evening primrose has properties which make it useful for a wide range of conditions, among them: MS, arthritis, vascular problems, and PMS.
