A bright, heart-lifting remedy to restore courage, ease melancholy, and rebuild nervous strength.
 
Borage, also known as Starflower, is a beloved European plant with soft, hairy leaves and violet-blue star-shaped flowers. Traditionally used to dispel melancholy — the historic name for what we now call depression — this generous herb uplifts the spirit and renews courage in the face of grief, exhaustion, and emotional strain.
 
Its fresh, cucumber-like flavour and cheerful blooms echo its essence: lightness, resilience, and gentle strength. Borage is often used as an adrenal tonic during times of deep nervous depletion, offering gentle repair and vitality to the heart and spirit. It is a plant that whispers: you can do this — and helps the body believe it.
 
Due to the presence of pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs), it is recommended to use Borage in short durations — no more than 2 months at a time, followed by a rest period.
