Origin and history
Borage is a herbaceous plant native to the Mediterranean basin, now widely distributed throughout Europe. Known since ancient times, it was already used by the Greeks and Romans for its soothing and toning properties. Its name comes from the Arabic abou rash, meaning "father of sweat," in reference to its sudorific properties. In the Middle Ages, it was considered a plant of courage and joy, often used in potions to restore strength and vitality. Today, borage is best known for the exceptional richness of its oil, extracted from its seeds, which supports the beauty and health of the skin.
