| Borage Oil is one of many popular carrier oils
used in massage, aromatherapy,
and other body-work therapies.
Borage Oil (from Borago officinalis L.)
is extracted by cold pressing the seeds of the borage plant using a
compressing screw thread.
Although this carrier oil is one of the less well-known - compared with
Grapeseed
Oil, Sweet
Almond Oil, Apricot
Kernel Oil etc., it does have
significant benefits for external use such as for massage or other body-work
treatments. Claims made about the therapeutic benefits of Borage Oil
include deferment of wrinkling (according to the "Encyclopedia of Herbal
Medicine", Bartram, 1995), and non-irritant properties enabling borage
oil to be used in cases of eczema and psoriasis.
Borage oil also has internal therapeutic, cosmetic, and culinary uses. |
