A homegrown superfood - borage oil - essence for the skin
Borage oil is one of the most popular natural remedies and has been prized for centuries for its high-quality ingredients.
According to various studies, borage oil is thought to bring about an improvement in skin complaints due to a high concentration of gamma-linolenic acid. At the same time, the oil is said to strengthen the immune system and increase general well-being.
The omega-6 fatty acids widely present in borage oil can be converted by the body into various messenger substances (prostaglandins). Today, about 30 different prostaglandins are known to us. They are able to support many functions in the body such as the nervous system, the cardiovascular system and the skin. In addition, they are thought to play a role in hormonal regulation in both men and women, in the reduction of inflammation and in influencing the skin.
This "miracle oil" is also said to have mood-improving properties.
Borage oil is thus the ideal companion for skin complaints (e.g. neurodermatitis, eczema), itchy, rough or dry skin, premenstrual syndromes and menopausal complaints.
The most popular form is the capsule, taken as a dietary supplement. The capsules are filled with a pure, cold-pressed oil.
