Borage has been playing an important role with us since the old days. A loving plant for the Bees, wherever you find Borage you’ll definitly find Bees too. It is believed that the name evolved from the Celtic word “borrach”, meaning courage. 🐝
It brings lightness to the soul, filling it with optimism and enthusiasm. A joy and happiness bringer for the comfort of the heart, for the driving away of sorrow and increasing of joy. It’s been used as an ally to drive away all sadness, dullness, melancholy and quiet the frantic and lunatic person. For this is used as a ritual steam bath together with some types of ferns or burnt as an incense. ✨️
Can be taken internally as a tonic. The leaves eaten raw engender good blood, especially in those that have been lately sick. It’s a diuretic, promoting the activity of the kidneys, a demulcent, soothing raspy sore throats and an emollient. It is also used for fevers and pulmonary complaints. Can be used as a restorative for the adrenal cortex for people who are overworked, exhausted and burned out. The leaves stimulate production of milk in nursing mothers.
Borage for the Love of our Hearts. 🪶💙🐝
