Evening primrose oil (EPO) contains gamma-linolenic acid which is an omega-6 fatty acid. Omega-6 fatty acids decrease inflammation which helps with aberrant endometrial islets which respond monthly to the hormonal changes and become inflammed and shed like normal menstrual tissue.
You could also try some natural progesterone cream. Endo is an estrogen-driven condition. If you balance the estrogen out with progesterone (the "anti-estrogen"), you could see results in as little as one year.
