E-po (Evening prime Rose Oil)
π‘ Commonly Claimed Uses
People take EPO for various reasons β mostly as a supplement β but scientific evidence supporting these uses varies:
β 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: Thereβs not enough solid evidence showing EPO reliably treats specific medical conditions.
