Evening Primrose

Primroses are just about my favorite thing when it comes to Springtime because along with the more obvious beauty of their blossoms, they also hold within them treasures of incredible healing. While many folks are familiar with the use of Evening Primrose Oil, that is, the oil expressed from the seeds of the plant, fewer people know it as a whole plant preparation. Evening Primrose can also be used as a tea, tincture, oil, salve, compress, wash or even as an infused honey. Its medicine is gentle and safe but incredibly effective and varied. And because it is so abundant, it is a medicine that every herbalist and plant person should take the time to get to know!
