Pure Borage Oil

Borage Oil owes its healing power to the presence of essential fatty acids, the most important of which is GLA, an omega-6 fatty acid. (While borage Oil is often used interchangeably with evening primrose Oil, ounce for ounce, Borage Oil boasts more than twice as much GLA.) Once processed by the body, GLA is converted into hormone like substances that can either block inflammation or promote it. In Borage Oil, the GLA seems to calm inflammation overall, making it an attractive treatment option for arthritis and other inflammatory conditions. Relieve the discomforts of PMS, endometriosis, and fibrocystic breasts. By interfering with the production of inflammatory substances called prostaglandins which are released during menstruation, the GLA in Borage Oil may help ease related cramping and pain. Reduce the symptoms of eczema and psoriasis. Clear up acne and rosacea. Astringent substances in borage called tannins may also help by tightening skin. Combat damage from multiple sclerosis.
