Borage  borago officinalis

Borage is a traditional medicinal and culinary herb native to the Mediterranean and first cultivated in Turkish Asia and Syria, and later in Spain by the Moorish Arabs. Because it is a tonic plant for the adrenal glands, borage provides an invaluable support for a stressful lifestyle. It is rich in minerals, especially potassium.  A tea made with borage helps to reduce fevers and ease chest colds.  An infusion of borage acts as a galactogogue, promoting the production of milk in breastfeeding mothers.  Borage makes an excellent facial steam for improving very dry, sensitive skin.
