Borage Flower Essence
Borage (Borago officinalis) is a Mediterranean herbaceous plant, sometimes referred to as ‘Bee-bread’ or ‘Bee fodder’ for it’s attractive nature to bees and other beneficial insects. As well as being great companion plant in the garden, borage is renowned for its edible flowers and low-dose medicinal virtues. Many contemporary herbalists shy away from utilising borage as a herbal medicine due to the small presence of pyrrolizidine alkaloids in the leaves and stem, which in large quantities and chronic use can cause damage to the liver.
As soldiers braced themselves before battle in ancient Rome, their leaders had a secret weapon to boost their courage: wine infused with the potent powers of borage. This mystical plant wasn't just any ordinary herb - it was a force to be reckoned with, renowned for its ability to ward off fear and grief with the amplitude of positive emotions. Borage’s capabilities of lifting spirits and helping warriors tap into their inner strength to march fearlessly onto the battlefield, is still applicable to this day in our modern context.

The flower essence of borage is made through solar infusion where the flower’s vibration is imprinted within the water’s energetic matrix. This 15mL bottle is technically a stock bottle, meaning you can further dilute the stock essence to make dosage bottles [read more on Flower Essences, including their method of action, how to use them & how to make up a dosage bottle]. Each stock bottle contains 7 drops of the original mother essence of borage.
The virtues of borage can be obtained through ingesting the essence, anointing talismans and candles, and adding a few drops to a room spray or floor wash to bring peace into the home.

WHAT ARE FLOWER ESSENCES?
Flower essences are considered to be a form of vibrational medicine containing the energetic imprint of a flower within the matrix of water, as opposed to herbal extracts which contain active constituents that often have a potent effect on the physical body.
Flower essences are believed to have therapeutic properties that can support emotional and spiritual wellbeing. They are often used as a complementary therapy for support through trialling times in life, especially in cases of dis-ease which may or may not be presenting in the physical body yet are rooted in the spiritual & emotional psyche and your electromagnetic field, making them sometimes harder to shift with biologically acting interventions.
It is commonly thought that flower essences act in a similar way to homeopathic preparations. Whilst this is not entirely untrue, it is a complex topic to unravel. In short, a major difference is homeopathic preparations are prepared via more complex methods and are diluted and potentised 200-fold, meaning homeopathic preparations require more skill and attuned application compared to flower essences which can be safely self-chosen & self-administered without causing detrimental imbalances.
Each stock flower essence can be diluted further (instructions on making your Dosage Bottles are on your info-card included with your shipment), and you can adjust your dose amount & frequency however you see fit.

PLEASE NOTE: Our stock flower essences DO contain alcohol. When using in drop doses, the amount of alcohol is insignificant (less than is present in a ripe banana), however if you cannot tolerate the smell or are allergic to distilled grape alcohol please avoid use.
