Borage

Known as a mood-booster, borage with its flowers was added by the ancient Romans to wine as a remedy against sadness and as a way to increase the courage of those who took it. It is a wild herb rich in Vitamin A and Vitamin C, essential minerals (such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron), palmitic acid, tannins and essential fat acids Omega 6 (24% gamma linolenic acid and 38% linolenic acid), that are necessary for a correct functioning of the cardiovascular system.
