Borage Oil
Borage (Borago officinalis) is an herb native to the Mediterranean region. It is known for its hairy, light blue flowers and hairy, hairy leaves. In herbal medicine, borage is used to treat a wide range of health conditions, including respiratory problems, inflammation, and anxiety. It is also used to stimulate the appetite and to help improve mood. Borage oil, which is extracted from the seeds of the plant and contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid, is used topically to treat skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis. Borage must be used cautiously if taken orally as the plant parts may contain liver-toxic compounds (pyrrolizidine alkaloids). It is important to only ingest preparations that are free of pyrrolizidine alkaloids.
