Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that develops when the nerves on the outside of the spinal cord and brain are damaged. Symptoms include weakness, numbness, and pain, especially in the hands and feet.
Some older research suggests that the linolenic acid in evening primrose oil helps reduce symptoms of peripheral neuropathy, namely temperature sensitivity and weakness.
