Frequently Asked Questions
What part of the plant is used? This tincture is made specifically from the flowering tops of the borage plant, which are harvested at their peak potency.
Is Borage the same as Starflower? Yes, Borage is commonly referred to as starflower due to the distinct shape of its blue blossoms.
How does it help with stress? Traditionally, Borage has been used to "invigorate the spirits." Modern herbalists use it as an adrenal tonic to help the body maintain resilience during physical or emotional exhaustion.
Can I use this for skin health? While borage oil (from the seeds) is often used topically for skin, this tincture of the flowering tops is intended for internal use to support the internal systems that manage stress and inflammation.
