Brief Answer:
Its used to relieve breast tenderness.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam,

I understand your query and concern.

I have gone through your earlier questions as well.

I would like to tell you that you seem to have Cyclical mastalgia,which is nothing but hormonal imbalance before every monthly cycle.

This is more common in young women.

The breast pain is due to congestion every month,relieves after the periods.

Evening primrose oil has excellent analgesic properties,very effective in relieving the breast engorgement and pain.

Post your further queries,if any.
Thank you.
