E-po (Evening prime Rose Oil)

💡 Commonly Claimed Uses

People take EPO for various reasons — mostly as a supplement — but scientific evidence supporting these uses varies:

⭐ What research shows

• PMS-related symptoms (breast pain, bloating, mood changes): Widely used, but clinical evidence is limited and inconsistent. NCCIH+1

• Skin conditions (eczema, acne, dryness): Some small studies suggest EPO may help skin hydration and inflammation, but overall evidence is weak. Healthline

• Menopause symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats): Some people use it, but evidence is not strong or consistent. NCCIH

• Rheumatoid arthritis, diabetic nerve pain, labor induction: Studied, but not enough strong proof to support routine use. NCCIH

Bottom line: There’s not enough solid evidence showing EPO reliably treats specific medical conditions.
