Oenothera

My latest attempt at giving poor Basil some relief from his eczema which is refusing to leave him in peace at the moment despite regular baths with medicated shampoo and oral and topical steroids.

There are many health claims associated with Evening Primrose Oil including: the aforementioned eczema, psoriasis, acne, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, Raynaud's, MS, high cholesterol, heart disease, dyspraxia, alcoholism, Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, chronic fatigue syndrome, asthma, ADHD, whooping cough, ulcerative colitis, IBS, premenstrual syndrome, endometriosis, menopausal symptoms...etc...etc... That's a LOT of things to claim.  However, it does come recommended by vets and doctors for certain things so it seems be worth a try for Basil and his problematic skin (and might help with my endometriosis too, you never know).
