Healing properties of evening primrose oil?

[Guest guest]

I have been looking for a holistic way to manage my hormones and

deal with polycistic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).

My holistic doctor is recommending evening primrose oils as capsule

form.

My question - is anyone aware whether evening primrose oil has any

healing proeprties at all, esp. hormonal balance related?

I normally stay away from all oils except virgin coconut oil,

butter/clarified butter, lard and [very rarely] extra virgin olive

oil.

so I am just a bit wary of introducing such an exotic oil in my diet.

Are there any negatives/downside to this oil?

Any opinions/experience?

Be well, all.
