Borage Herb Cut
Mid-century herbal records show Borage being used to "make men merry" and to "comfort the heart and increase joy." Was that because it used to flavor wines, ciders, and other beverages?
Today, you’re more likely to find Borage in natural skincare preparations rather than in your favorite alcoholic beverage. Make a body wash, ointment or oil to soothe skin.

Category: Medicinal
These herbs are so named because they are medicine and should be respected as such. God gave herbs to be used as medicine, so it is important to use wisdom in taking them. Each medicinal herb usually targets a specific gland, organ, or body system. They are stronger, which is why it is recommended to use lower dosages for short periods of time.
Suggested Use
With medicinal herbs, it is important to start slow and increase gradually. Begin with 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon in food, drinks, smoothies, or tea, and then evaluate to see how the body is doing. Increase in small increments of 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon if the body is responding well until the desired response is achieved. It is recommended that these types of herbs be used at low dosages for a short period of time. For management of stress, hormone balance, or nutrition, focus on the adaptogenic and nutritive herbs.
