New Roots Borage Oil
Borage oil
Like
evening primrose oil and black currant seed oil, borage oil owes its healing
power to the presence of essential fatty acids, the most important of which is
GLA, an omega-6 fatty acid.Once processed by the body, GLA is converted into hormone
like substances that can either block inflammation or promote it. In borage
oil, the GLA seems to calm inflammation overall, making it an attractive
treatment option for arthritis and other inflammatory conditions. Nature?s most
potent concentration of GLA comes in the form of borage seed oil (24%). A great
deal of scientific research has been conducted with supplements rich in GLA,
resulting in significant interest regarding the aforementioned health ailments,
as well as those affected by pre-menstrual syndrome, benign breast disease,
eczema, psoriasis, obesity, and vascular disorders.
Borage oil reduces the aches and pains of rheumatoid arthritis
Borage
oil relieves the discomforts of PMS, endometriosis, and fibrocystic breasts. By
interfering with the production of inflammatory substances called
prostaglandins, which are released during menstruation, the GLA in borage oil
may help ease related cramping and pain. Borage oil may also reduce some of the
breast tenderness that women feel before their periods and calm
endometriosis-associated inflammation. In women with fibrocystic breasts, the
oil?s essential fatty acids can minimize breast inflammation and promote the
absorption of iodine, a mineral often found in abnormally low levels in those
with this condition. While various studies suggest that GLA-dense oils can
effectively treat PMS discomforts, more recent research has cast some doubt on
these claims.
