Borage Oil

There is controversy about the value of adding
this fatty acid, omega-3's, to the diet, but many people
take supplements of it in the form of capsules;
evening primrose oil, black currant oil and borage oil.

It's good for depression.

PREPERATIONS
Flowers, candied and made into a conserve,
were deemed useful for persons weakened
by long sickness, and for those subject to swoonings;
distilled water was considered as effectual,
and valuable to cure inflammation of the eyes.

Juice in syrup was thought to be good in fevers,
to be a remedy for jaundice, itch and ringworm.
Culpepper tells us that in his days:
'The dried herb is never used,
but the green, yet the ashes thereof
boiled in mead or honeyed water,
is available in inflammation and ulcers
in the mouth or throat, as a gargle.'
