Borago officinalis
Borage, aka “borage for courage!”, is one of my favourite go to herbs for when I am feeling run down or low in energy. It is one of the few herbs that is actually an “adrenal tonic”, helping to restore a damaged or over-run adrenal gland. Your adrenals are your organs that regulate your cortisol levels, and when there has been long term stress, your adrenals eventually “poop out” and cortisol stops being produced at a normal rate. This can cause chronic fatigue, high inflammation in the body, and a low mood. Borage helps to regulate this by restoring the adrenal gland so that it can start producing cortisol at a regular rate again. It also helps boost the mood, reduce inflammation, and cool down an over-heated body. It tastes like cucumber! It may also assist the assimilation of iron (making it more bio-available)
