vitamins...

i take a variety of vitamins everyday, but a new one i started about 6 months ago is oil of evening primrose.  my doctor recommended it to me to help treat PMS symptoms (bloating, cramping and overall pain and swelling).  it is also known to help with skin conditions such as acne and eczema.

this oil is extracted from the evening primrose plant, a wildflower found in north america.  what makes it special is its high level of essential fatty acid, also known as "omega 6".  this fatty acid is crucial for healthy joint function and reducing inflammation.  oil of evening primrose may also have positive effects on hot flashes, heart disease, lowering cholesterol, and helping with fatigue.  i buy it at trader joes and take twice a day.
