Evening Primrose

Size: 2 oz Bag

(Latin Name: Oenothera biennis)
(Also known as: Moonlight Flower, Womb Weaver, The Balancer of Hormones)

Brief History & Origin

Evening Primrose is the Herb of Hormonal Harmony and Moon Medicine, blooming gently at dusk with pale yellow petals that open in the moonlight, symbolizing feminine cycles, intuition, and healing. Native to North America, Evening Primrose has been used by Indigenous healers for centuries to soothe inflammation, nourish the womb, and bring balance to the reproductive system.

This sacred plant carries the wisdom of cycles and rhythms, teaching us to honor our hormonal tides, menstrual flow, and emotional ebbs and surges. Its oil, pressed from the tiny seeds, is known today as a powerful source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid that nourishes the skin, joints, and endocrine system.
