Borage assists us when we need our spirit uplifted and strengthened, when we are feeling heavy and over burdened.
Essence from the Borage flower is most associated with finding courage.
Borage is there to support the throat and heart chakras.
Dosages
   I suggest taking a 2-4 drops 3-4 times a day, in water, or directly under the tongue., preferably as far away from meals as possible.
The essence action is subtle, I encourage you to take essences for at least twenty-one days, and depending on the issues being dealt with, for up to three months.
 Alternatively take 4 drops of the essence before a meditation with purpose, or for whatever you are working on that day.
 
I make all my flower essences from flowers in my backyard garden or from the green belt surrounding my neighborhood. With few exceptions making essences when I travel.
Mindful of the flowers life force I sit with it for a day or two before making the essence, mediate with the flower as it sits in the spring water soaking up the rays of the sun (or the moon).
I always give gratitude.
Flower essences work on similar principles to Homeopathy. The life-force and vibrational signature of the flower is transferred to water, then when taken mindfully work with your personal signature for deep healing.
