Regarding Question #2, I know of no research to suggest that Evening Primrose Oil (EPO) is contraindicated for ovarian cysts. Likewise, evening primrose oil does not contain estrogens.

Instread, EPO contains gamma linolenic acid (GLA), an esential fatty acid that the body converts to a "hormone-like" substance called prostaglandin E1 (PGE1). This substance provides anti-inflammatory properties - it does not exert estrogenic activity.

EPO is typically used for female problems including PMS and fibrocystic breast disease. Sources indicate the general daily dosage used is 3,000-6,000mg, providing approximately 270-540mg of GLA.

Regarding the other health problems you mentioned, for constipation, I personally prefer Cascara Sagrada. I find that 1 capsule at night before bed works wonders, without causing intestinal cramping like some herbs (such as Senna).
