Historical Aspects:
Borage, often called the "Herb of Courage," has been celebrated since ancient times for its uplifting and restorative properties. The Greeks and Romans infused borage into wine to inspire bravery before battles. In medieval times, it was a common remedy to ease melancholy and sadness. Herbalists like Nicholas Culpeper noted its ability to strengthen the heart and elevate the spirit, calling it a plant that "comforts the heart and drives away sorrow." Its star-shaped blue flowers are symbolic of hope and renewal, often used in rituals to invoke positivity and courage.
