What are Essential Oils?
 
The numerous health benefits of essential oils have been widely touted by many cultures that have used aromatherapy to promote healing of both the mind and body. Each oil features its own distinct aromatic quality and is used in conjunction with other oils, to create a specific result such as soothing anxiety, stress, nausea and relieving headaches.

What is Borage Oil?
 
Borage herb (Echium amoenum) is a large plant of the Boraginaceae family, which grows in most of Europe and in northern Iran. The borage flower is used as a medicinal herb in France and other countries.
 
Today, Borage Oil is often employed as a skin replenishment treatment, where it is thought to help lock in moisture and retain the smoothness of young skin. And because of its innate healing properties, Borage Oil can also be used to treat skin conditions such as eczema and abrasions.
 
One further positive aspect of Borage Oil is its high content of GLA. Through the body, GLA can be converted into prostaglandins. Prostaglandins have been shown in various studies to help reverse the effects of imbalanced levels of fatty acids in the body, which can contribute to conditions such as cystic fibrosis, asthma, diabetes and multiple sclerosis. It is possible that supplementing with Borage Oil may help to prevent or at least delay the onset of these conditions. Preliminary findings also indicate that GLA may be effective in reversing neuropathy in diabetic patients, which is when nerves degenerate, causing numbness and pain. For this reason, it is recommended that all diabetics supplement their diets with a good source of gamma linolenic acid—Borage Oil being that great supplement.
