If you’ve reached 40 weeks of pregnancy without signs of labor, you may have heard about several natural methods to help induce labor. There are indeed a few ways to encourage this process. One such option is the use of Evening Primrose Oil (EPO) with the aim of initiating labor.

Evening primrose seeds are rich in an omega-6 fatty acid called GLA (gamma-linolenic acid). Many health experts believe that GLA and other omega fatty acids support healthy hormone balance, so they recommend taking evening primrose oil for people with PMS and PCOS.
