Besides the emotional symptoms, evening primrose oil may also reduce some of the physical symptoms of PMS. The oil is often used to treat migraine headache and joint pain.

Evening primrose oil contains a fat by the name of gamma-linolenic acid that can be converted into a substance (prostaglandin E1) that is believed to help control the effects of excess prolactin. Some women do find that taking about three grams of evening primrose oil each day can quell their PMS, including symptoms such as depression, irritability, breast pain and tenderness and the fluid retention. There is also some thought that PMS may be related to a hormonal imbalance known as 'oestrogen dominance'.
