Flowers for Health
   
 

The beautiful Evening Primrose and the decorative Starflower herb have been used by herbalists centuries ago for their healing properties. Recent scientific studies have shown that both the Evening Primrose and Starflower contain very high levels of polyunsaturated essential fatty acids (EFAs). But the key feature of these flowers stems from their unusually high content of one particular EFA called Gamma Linolenic Acid or GLA, which is essential for the maintenance of good health.

Both these natural oils have proven to be extremely rich in one particular polyunsaturated- Gamma Linolenic. This GLA is not found in our diet naturally, but is produced by our body as a result of a conversion process which changes Linoleic Acid (LA) found in vegetable oils, nuts, wheatgerm, and avocado, into GLA. This, in turn converts to prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are our body's policemen which regulate a variety of bodily functions.

Millions of women take these natural oils everyday since it is essential for them during their menstruation as they can help maintain a natural hormone balance as well as maintain healthy skin, supple joints,healthy hair and nails and general good health.
