Supplementation
If you have no contraindications, and only after a discussion of the pros and cons with your physician, consider taking fish oil, evening primrose seed oil, flaxseed oil, or borage seed oil supplements.
Remember that these supplements may interact with certain medications and so be sure to talk to your doctor first. Also, all of these supplements can have a blood thinning effect so, again, be sure to talk with your doctor to make sure it is safe for you to take one or more of them.
