Just like different oils enhance your cooking, so to do therapeutic oils enhance your wellbeing!
Two very helpful oils are fish oil and evening primrose oil.
Fish oil helps your body move and feel better – it supports your joints, brain and mental clarity, skin and heart health. This is because of its omega 3 content – EPA and DHA fatty acids. They are essential to human health, but your body doesn’t produce them and instead relies on your food and supplement intake.
Foods high in omega 3s include:
- salmon, mackerel and other fatty fish
- hemp, chia and flax seeds
- walnuts
- avocado and brussels sprouts
- edamame and kidneya beans.
It can be a challenge getting enough of these foods into your diet, in the highest concentrations. A helpful option is high-quality fish oil supplements.
Evening primrose oil contains linolenic acid (LA) and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), two omega 6 essential fatty acids, which also aren’t naturally produced by your body. Because of its GLA content, evening primrose oil supports skin health by helping to maintain your skin’s integrity, which is particularly helpful if you experience a mild skin disorder.
Some women who experience PMS may not be able to properly convert linolenic acid to GLA, which can result in an increase of the hormone, prolactin. This hormone is responsible for many of the uncomfortable aspects of PMS. Supplementing with evening primrose oil which is rich in GLA can support PMS including tenderness, low mood, irritability, fuzzy heads and bloating.
