I've heard that evening primrose oil can be useful for regulating hormones, but when I had a look at the back of the packet it says that people with epilepsy shouldn't take it without first consulting a neurologist. My nearest neurologist is 50 miles away and I'm lucky if I get to see him once a year, so that will have to wait.
Starflower oil is supposed to have a similar effect, so I'm wondering whether it would be a safe alternative. It may not have the same warnings on the packet (I didn't notice any), but that doesn't mean it doesn't work in the same way or pose similar risks: it could simply mean that the research hasn't been done yet because it's used by fewer people.
Has anyone here who suffers from epilepsy used it?
