The Evening Primrose plant, Oenothera biennis, is native to North America and is now grown throughout all temperate climates. It has yellow flowers that flower in the evenings. Both First Nations and European settlers used evening primrose for medicinal purposes. They treated wounds and bruises with a poultice of leaves, while a tea or infusion of the plant was used to soothe coughs and digestive complaints. Current interest in the Evening Primrose plant is in the oil pressed from its seeds, which contain an array of fatty acids but particularly gamma-linolenic Acid (GLA) an omega-6 fatty acid essential for health. *
