An Herb For Courage

An Herb For Courage

For an herb with an unsexy name, borage has some pretty appealing qualities, according to our resident herb expert, Margi Flint. It has long been associated with helping to restore courage and reduce anxiety. Plus recent research has shown that the seeds are one of the richest sources of GLA (Gamma Linolenic Acid) an essential fatty acid (EFA) in the omega-6 family. EFAs , by the way, are necessary for normal brain function, bone health, and stimulation of skin and hair growth. You can buy borage oil supplements at health food stores and supermarkets. Borage oil, BTW, is twice as potent as primrose oil. The star-shaped flower are lovely as garnishes in salads and the leaves can be mashed and used as a poultice for eczema and other skin rashes. I take two capsules of borage oil religiously every day. For courage, anxiety and smooth skin, remember borage. Nina Simonds
