Have you ever heard of the borage plant before? Don’t worry if you haven’t, we’re here to tell you about it! Keep reading to learn about what it looks like, where it’s from, its uses in herbalism, and how to use it for pets!
What is Borage?
Borago officinalis is a self-seeding annual plant that is native to many parts of Asia and Europe. It was introduced all over North America and can grow just about anywhere south of Canada’s mid-latitudes. Its bright blue flowers and oval-shaped leaves help make it unmistakable. It also has tiny prickly hairs reminiscent of two-day beard stubble all over. Borage blooms from spring to midsummer in most places. The most common parts used for infusions and liquid extractions are the leaves, flowers, and seed oil.
History of the Borage Plant
The borage planthas a reputation for lifting the spirits, according to the Generall Historie of Plants (1597). Syrup made with the flowers is said to comfort the heart and decrease melancholy. Liquid infusions with the leaves and flowers are said to drive away sadness and increase merriment! In cuisine, this fragrant flower garnishes salads, and candied borage blossoms decorate cakes.
Borage leaves and flowers are very beneficial for balancing the adrenal glands.
Medicinal Properties of Borago officinalis
Borage leaves and flowers are very beneficial for balancing the adrenal glands. Borage seeds contain an impressive amount of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which is an essential fatty acid, which your pet’s body cannot create on their own. Adding GLA to their diet is beneficial for liver issues, heart disease, and metabolic disorders.
How To Safely Use The Borage Plant For Pets
Borago officinalis is a non-toxic plant that may offer a range of natural benefits for your sweet furkiddo! But like anything in life, too much of a good thing can still be too much. Keep in mind that this herb is only safe for pets when formulated at a safe dosage for their weight. Don’t forget that you can always consult your veterinarian for proper supervision and dosage information.
NHV Products That Use Borage
Borage is an excellent herb for any condition relating to adrenal gland function. It is very helpful for pets coping with Cushing’s disease, Addison’s disease, or any other adrenal gland dysfunction. We do not use borage oil in NHV products but we do use the flowers and leaves in our formulation of Supraglan.
We formulated Supraglan specifically for pets suffering from adrenal gland disorders. It uses borage along with other herbs to support balanced adrenal function and can help with symptoms like excessive thirst and dull coat.

Holistic Support for Addison’s Disease in Dogs and Cats
Addison’s Disease or hypoadrenocorticism occurs when the adrenal glands do not produce enough hormones. The adrenal glands are located just in front of the kidneys and have two parts – the cortex and the medulla. Your little one’s adrenal cortex produces mineralocorticoids (e.g. Aldosterone), which helps to control the balance of sodium and potassium salts, and glucocorticoids, which are involved in metabolizing nutrients, reducing inflammation and releasing hormones like estrogen and progesterone. The adrenal medulla plays a vital role in managing the body’s response to stress and low blood sugar levels. It releases epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine, which increase heart rate, blood pressure, blood glucose levels and slowing down digestion.
Is Addison’s Disease Breed-Related?
Addison’s Disease (underactive adrenal glands) occurs more frequently in young to middle-aged pups and in some purebred kitties. Dog breeds that may be more likely to develop Addison’s disease are: Standard Poodles, Great Danes, Bearded Collies, Portuguese Water Dogs and West Highland White Terriers. Although the cause is unknown, in many cases, it develops as an autoimmune disease. Other causes include destruction of the adrenal gland by a tumor, hemorrhage or infarction. It can also be caused by vet-prescribed medications for treating overactive adrenal glands (Cushing's disease).
Symptoms include regular vomiting, decreased appetite, weight loss, and sometimes dark diarrhea. Lethargy, depression, and muscle weakness are also common signs. Sometimes fur loss, and increased urination are present as well. For canines and felines Addison’s Disease in , we'd suggest adding NHV’s Addison’s Disease Essential Support Kit to their daily meal plan. This bundle of natural remedies contains Supraglan, and Milk thistle which have been formulated to work together to re-balance the adrenal glands, reduce inflammation, and encourage gentle detoxification and tissue regeneration.
How NHV Supplements Support Adrenal Disorders in Pets
An adrenal gland disorder impacts many areas of the body and can be easily mistaken for natural signs of aging. We would recommend a holistic aid specifically for Addison’s disease in dogs and cats that provides multiple organ support as well as gently stimulate the endocrine system.

Wild Yam and Licorice stimulate adrenal gland function, while Borage contains natural precursors of adrenal gland hormones to help trigger the endocrine system. Suplaglan also contains many ingredients with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that support healthy liver, kidney and immune response. Milk Thistle provides additional support to the liver and kidneys and is especially helpful for pets with a compromised immune system or exposure to harmful chemicals.
Free-radical scavengers can help prevent liver inflammation
Encourages liver cell regeneration

Dandelion is a nutrient-dense herb with anti-inflammatory properties that help protect the kidneys, support liver function (bile flow) and a variety of important processes without overstimulating the body.
Licorice contains Glycyrrhizic acid - a compound very similar to corticosteroids (which are released by the adrenal gland) helps to stimulate the adrenal gland, relieves inflammation and gently activates the immune system.
Wild yam is an anti-inflammatory herb that contains steroidal saponins which help to restore hormone levels. It also encourages increased bile flow, lowered blood cholesterol and improving overall liver function.

Cushing's disease is caused by the overproduction of cortisol and is a fairly common hormonal imbalance in our furry friends. A range of causes can overstimulate the adrenal glands, but most commonly, Cushing's is caused by a pituitary gland tumor, known as an adenoma.As scary as this sounds, if caught early, your pet may be able to maintain a good quality of life and manage their symptoms. If left untreated, this type of tumor may later develop into cancer.The telltale signs of Cushing's develops from the body being exposed to excess cortisol (or related hormones) over an extended period of time. Symptoms of Cushing's may come across as normal signs of aging so age is most likely a factor as well. Cushing syndrome in dogs does not usually develop until much later in life (around age 10). Although less common, Cushing's Disease can affect kitties too.
Certain breeds of dogs are more prone to Cushing's, partly because certain breeds are more sensitive to stress. Poodles, Jack Russell Terriers, Beagles, and Dachshunds are a few dog breeds more likely to develop this kind of adrenal imbalance. Keep in mind, this is not a complete list of breeds.
