Evening primrose oil: properties and uses

Peculiarities

Evening primrose has many alternative names: aspen, night violet, rapunzel. In the official classification, the plant is called evening primrose (Oenothera biennis), which is translated from Latin as “night candle.”

Most popular names also describe the peculiarity of the primrose vegetation, the flowers of which bloom at sunset and close with the onset of the next day. The plant received the name “oslinnik” for the shape of its leaves, which are very similar to the ears of an animal.

Botanical description

Evening primrose is a perennial herb belonging to the fireweed family. The height of an adult plant can reach 2 m, but is usually limited to 60–80 cm. At the same time, the thick, fleshy root at the base is buried in the ground no more than 20 cm. The erect stem, like all above-ground parts of the evening primrose, is densely pubescent with soft hairs.

In the first year after germination, a rosette of large leaves forms above the ground. The stem with flower stalks appears in the second season.

An inflorescence-brush is formed at the upper end of each shoot. Evening primrose has a bright, rich yellow color of its petals. There are also representatives of the species with white, blue and red buds. The roots and young leaves of the plant can be used as food, adding to soups and salads.

In the homeland of primrose, in North America, in the pre-Columbian era, the plant was considered a remedy for all diseases.

The flower came to Europe by the 17th century, and spread as an unusual garden plant and a powerful medicine. Today, evening primrose is found as a wild species and garden crop on all continents. From the European part of Russia to the Far East, the flower is widespread as a weed, grows along roads, and forms thickets along river banks.

What parts are used for medicinal purposes?

Evening primrose, the medicinal properties of which have been known since the culture of the North American Indians, was used entirely for medicinal purposes: from the roots to the very tops. Evening primrose leaves were used as food, medicines for the stomach and wounds were prepared from the seeds, and the flowers were brewed as a strengthening tea.

The basal leaves of the herbaceous plant are large, oval, tapering towards the petiole. The plates growing on the shoots are much smaller and have the shape of a narrow lancet. The leaves on the stems grow alternately, are without petioles and are framed along the edge with small teeth.

The upper part of the shoot is crowned with flower buds, which open alternately with the beginning of flowering, replacing the faded ones.

Evening primrose flowers are bisexual, large, reaching 5 cm in diameter. The bud is formed by 4 yellow petals, shaped like a heart. The ripening of numerous small seeds occurs unevenly from September until frost; they ripen in tetrahedral fruit boxes about 2 cm in size.

Collection

Medicinal raw materials should be collected away from highways and polluted urban environments. The green part of the spring primrose is cut off in the spring, before the flowers bloom. The top 10–15 cm of shoots have the best properties. Flowers are collected by plucking individual opening buds without damaging the raceme, or by a whole shoot with leaves and inflorescences.

It is more convenient to collect seeds from ripened capsules in early autumn. It is better to dig up the root of evening primrose after the entire above-ground part has withered, when preparing the flower bed for winter. If necessary, use the underground part, harvested in early spring. The roots acquire valuable properties only a year after planting; it is better to harvest them starting from the second season.

How to prepare

It is advisable to lay out whole shoots in the shade in the open air or hang them in small bunches to dry. Separately collected leaves and buds can be quickly dried by scattering the raw material in a thin layer on baking sheets covered with clean paper or cloth. You can obtain high-quality raw materials by heating the buds and leaves in the oven at a temperature of 100 °C.

The seeds are left in the boxes until the walls are completely dry. Unripe grains can reach the desired condition and become friable. After removing the seeds from the cases, they are dried again separately. The roots are laid out on cloth or paper and kept in the air for a long time, without access to direct sunlight.

You can speed up the process by placing the raw materials in the oven and drying them at a temperature not exceeding +40 °C.

When completely dry, the roots lose up to 80% of their mass, break, and do not spring back when bent. Evening primrose oil is obtained from the seeds by pressing. The process is labor-intensive and has a small yield of the finished product. Therefore, it is better to purchase primrose oil in pharmacies, where the product is subject to mandatory certification.

Storage

High-quality dried leaves and flowers can be packaged in glass containers with tight-fitting lids. The roots are stored well in thick paper bags or linen bags in a dry place. The liquid extract (oil) is kept in a dark, cool place; it is better to place it in the refrigerator.

Shelf life of medicinal raw materials from evening primrose:

• leaves and flowers – 12 months;
• roots – 24 months;
• oil – 6 months;
• capsules with extract (pharmacy) – 24 months.

If there are any signs of damage to the raw material (change in color, smell, consistency), primrose cannot be used for treatment.

In general, in terms of characteristics primrose oil is very close to fish oil, not only in composition, but also in smell and color. As a rule, it is used very rarely in concentrated form.
