Borage Herbal Remedy

Borage (Borago officinalis), also known as “starflower,” is a traditional herb celebrated for its soothing and restorative qualities. Rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), vitamins, and minerals, borage has long been valued for supporting the body in times of stress, fatigue, and inflammation. Both the leaves and flowers offer therapeutic benefits, making it a versatile addition to natural wellness.

Available Formats: Elixir, Alchemy Elixir, Tincture, and Glycetract

We offer this herbal remedy in three different preparations to suit a variety of health needs, taste preferences, and sensitivities. Whether you're looking for a traditional alcohol-based tincture, a sweet and nourishing elixir (also contains alcohol), or a gentle alcohol-free glycetract, you can choose the form that’s right for you or your loved ones.

Glycetract (Glycerite)

Glycetracts are alcohol-free extracts made using vegetable glycerin and water. They are ideal for those who are sensitive to alcohol, including children, pets, or those with liver conditions. While they are not always as potent as tinctures, they are still effective and particularly well-suited for milder conditions or long-term support.

Best for: Children, pets, those avoiding alcohol, or for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding (with practitioner advice).

Alchemy Elixirs 

Alchemy Elixirs are my unique, full-spectrum herbal extracts crafted using a four-phase process — alcohol, glycerin, apple cider vinegar, and water. This method captures the complete range of a plant’s natural nutrients, from minerals and vitamins to alkaloids, flavonoids, and polysaccharides. Each Alchemy Elixir is designed to deliver the plant’s full vitality in a gentle, bioavailable form that supports daily wellness and balance.

Best for: Anyone wanting daily nourishment and deep herbal support. Ideal for adults and children ages 1+, these elixirs provide the full spectrum of plant compounds — including natural vitamins and minerals — for whole-body wellness.

Elixir

Elixirs are traditional herbal preparations made using a blend of alcohol, Glycerin, and water. They are often used when you want both therapeutic action and a palatable, sweetish flavour, especially for those who prefer not to taste the bitterness of herbs.

Best for: Adults and children - ages 1+, general wellness and those who dislike bitter tinctures.

Tincture

Tinctures are highly concentrated herbal extracts made using alcohol as a solvent. This is one of the most effective ways to extract the full medicinal spectrum of most herbs, including alkaloids, essential oils, and resins.

Best for: Adults or those looking for fast, potent results. Not ideal for those sensitive to alcohol, reformed alcoholics or for young children under 1.
