Now is a good time for Borage flower essence, well actually anytime is a good time for Borage. It is good if you are tired or wired need sleep or slept too much. This essence offers broad support for our well being. 

The Borage plant shines in the garden. It expresses vibrancy and strength. It is covered in tiny hair that catch and reflect the sunlight which produces an aura like glow. Honeybees love borage. They flock to the sky blue 5 pointed flowers which bloom in abundance.  

Borage, Courage, and a Broken Heart

Historical folklore says ‘borage brings courage to the heart and drives away sadness’. There is something to be said for folklore. In regards to the heart, the core, borage does bring courage and is a wonderful essence for heartbreak.

As a flower essence therapist I often consult with people going through painful life episode. One such episode is a break up. This can be used in the acute phase or to assist a prolonged period of anguish. Borage flower essence provides a nice balance of support which helps one muster the courage to mend hard feelings. I have used Borage more times than I can count for people going through or post break up. 

We can feel heart broken for the world sometimes this can be due to global catastrophe, conflict and disaster. Borage flower essence can give us hope and perspective to see what we can do and where we can plug in and make changes. In this regard Borage flower essence is a good remedy to counter pessimism and fatigue and encourage action.

The circumstances of life can lead to feelings of heaviness, boredom, and fatigue be it the day to day grind, new difficulty, or on going ordeal which requires our attention. In these instances Borage offers inner stamina to re-engage with life. It is good for kids who get bored at school or those for find themselves disinterested due to lack of challenge.

Borage is a good long term essence and one you can turn to for a week or two as needed. Simply take 4 drops per dose 2-3 times a day upon waking and retiring and mid day if you need. Borage flower essence combines well with Penstemon and  Yarrow.
