From its bristly stems to its blue star-shaped flowers, virtually all parts of the borage plant (Borago officinalis) have been used over the centuries for their healing properties and as a flavoring for foods. As early as the 1600s, Europeans mixed borage leaves and flowers into a wine that was renown for relieving boredom and dispelling melancholy. While modern science has found little evidence that the herb itself has any therapeutic effects, its seed oil does appear to help in treating a number of conditions, from rheumatoid arthritis to menstrual problems. Research has shown that borage oil’s medicinal effects can be traced to its rich stores of a therapeutic fat called gamma linolenic acid (GLA). Health Benefits Like evening primrose oil and black currant seed oil, borage oil owes its healing power to the presence of essential fatty acids, the most important of which is GLA, an omega-6 fatty acid. (While borage oil is often used interchangeably with evening primrose oil, ounce for ounce, borage oil boasts more than twice as much GLA.) Once processed by the body, GLA is converted into hormonelike substances that can either block inflammation or promote it. In borage oil, the GLA seems to calm inflammation overall, making it an attractive treatment option for arthritis and other inflammatory conditions. Complicating matters, however, is the presence in borage oil of other fatty acids that may interfere with GLA absorption. In addition, borage leaves and flowers contain potentially toxic substances (pyrrolizidine alkaloids, or PAs) which could, in theory, cause harm if ingested over long enough periods of time. Borage seed oil may also contain minute amounts of PAs. Adverse reactions to the PAs are not widespread, but based on these concerns, borage oil often rates second to evening primrose oil as the GLA supplement of choice. On the other hand, borage oil is cheaper, and in many cases you can use a lower dose of borage oil to produce a therapeutic effect. How to use Anti-Aging Skin Elixir: Borage oil restores the suppleness, elasticity and tone of tired, dry, or scarred skin. This is why it is an important ingredient in many cosmetic brands. Its salicylic acid content is behind its anti-acne and anti-septic qualities. To use it as an excellent anti-aging moisturizer, apply after washing your face every evening. To stop acne breakouts, apply a few drops of borage oil on your face using a cotton pad daily, before bedtime.Manicure Adjuvant: GLA present in borage oil moisturizes and strengthens the nails, while the salicylic acid kills any possible infection. Rub borage oil onto your nails during a manicure or after washing your hands.Hair Revitalizer: Spilt ends and dull hair that knots quickly and falls out easily may come to life after applying a revitalizing borage oil mask. Borage oil’s regenerative properties can revive the scalp cells and hair strands, just like skin.Aids Weight Loss: Borage oil’s high GLA content, essential for metabolism, can kill the appetite and aid in weight loss. A 2007 study, which gave one group 5g borage oil and the other 5g olive oil as supplements, found that the one that consumed borage oil lost more weight than the other. To use borage oil for weight loss, take 1-2 GLA borage oil supplements with meals, or as directed by your physician. You can also use borage leaves for cooking. They can be steamed, sautéed or boiled just like spinach.Soothes Arthritis Inflammation: GLA suppresses the molecules that cause joint inflammation. For arthritis, take 1 to 2 GLA borage oil supplements with meals. However, do not take more than 3,000mg of GLA per day as it may increase inflammation.Cleanses The Kidneys: Borage oil ingested as gelatin pills has a diuretic effect due to its concentration of potassium salts. This cleanses the kidneys and helps detoxify the body.Improves Cardiac Health: Borage oil reduces the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease by reducing plaque and inflammation along the arterial walls and increasing peripheral blood circulation, thus boosting cardiac health.Fights PMS: Borage oil can stimulate the adrenal glands and increase adrenaline production, improving PMS attacks in women. The adrenal glands also regulate stress and increase the body’s resistance to infections, thus enhancing the metabolism of body. Its analgesic properties can help relieve pain.Our Shipping PolicyEvery effort will be made to ship orders the same day they are received.
