Description
Fresh borage leaves and flowers might make a tasty addition to a salad, but medicinal benefits are hard to prove. The possible benefits of borage oil in the treatment of inflammatory disease are under serious investigation, but these studies are in the very early stages. Portions of the plant contain a known carcinogen and because of this matter borage products are banned in some countries.
Dosage
The effective dose is not known with any certainty. Doses of 3 grams per day of oil seem to have no effect on blood clotting, but what other effect this dose might exert on the body is not known.
