Borage - Essential Fatty Acids
Borage flowers may look cute and fuzzy, but those purple beauties actually have some amazing health benefits! They possess powerful anti-inflammatory properties which could be effective in helping to relieve symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis as well as protecting against oxidative stress. Decreasing inflammation and swelling in the airways is another possible benefit and could relieve symptoms of asthma. Borage is rich in essential fatty acids that cannot be made by the body and must come from an outside source, which include GLA (gamma-linolenic-acid) and Omega 6. These fatty acids can have a profound reduction on the impact of inflammation on cardiovascular disease, lung function, autoimmune conditions, and metabolic abnormalities! They are also integral to the structure and function of your skin, promoting overall skin health. Along with its antioxidant properties, this plant can help to promote wound healing and repair the skin’s natural barrier. Borage is also an excellent nervine tonic, which has been most commonly used to alleviate melancholic conditions and is a great support during times of anxiety, stress, and nervous exhaustion. In traditional medicine, this amazing flower was used to mitigate diabetes, hyperthyroidism, cardiovascular diseases, premenstrual syndrome, nerve damage, adrenal insufficiency, gout, kidney disorders, premature aging, ulcers, and other gastrointestinal disorders. If that isn't enough to convince you how incredibly powerful this plant medicine can be, we don't know what is!
