Once known as the "herb of courage", Borage flowers were used to decorate the vestaments of departing crusaders.

In modern herbalism, Borage is said to be effective against weak or diminished adrenal function, fevers, inflammation, sore and inflamed eyes, colds, bronchitis, chronic catarrh, congestion, pleurisy and fever.
