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. Many of the herbs in the formula are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals such as iron, calcium, and vitamins B and C.

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.
The adrenal cortex produces mineralocorticoids (of which the most potent naturally occurring is aldosterone), which help to control the balance of sodium and potassium salts. Glucocorticoids, which are involved in metabolizing nutrients as well as in reducing inflammation and, also produces sex hormones such as estrogen and progesterone.
The adrenal medulla plays an important role in response to stress or low blood sugar (glucose). It releases epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine, which increase heart output, blood pressure, and blood glucose, and slow digestion.
Addison's Disease is a deficiency in secretion of hormones by the adrenal gland and usually mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid hormones are both decreased.
Addison’s disease is more common in young to middle aged dogs and occasionally in horses. The disease may be familial in Standard Poodles, West Highland White Terriers, Great Danes, Bearded Collies, Portuguese Water Dogs and a variety of other breeds. The cause of the primary adrenocortical failure usually is unknown, although most cases probably result from an autoimmune process. Other causes include destruction of the adrenal gland by granulomatous disease, metastatic tumor, hemorrhage or infarction. It can also be caused by the medications used to treat overactive adrenal glands, or Cushing’s disease.
Clinical signs include intermittent vomiting, diarrhea, decreased appetite, weight loss, and sometimes dark, bloody diarrhea. Lethargy, depression, and weakness are also common. Sometimes hair loss and increased thirst and urination occurs.
The diagnosis requires laboratory testing, because no clinical signs are specific for Addison’s disease.
Pets in an acute Addisonian crisis require hospitalization and intensive care. For most dogs with hypoadrenocorticism, lifelong supplementation with mineralocorticoids is needed.
Borage (Borago officinalis) - Borage has antibacterial, antihyperlipidemic, anti-inflammatory, antiplatelet effects and it is an herb that is know for its ability to support adrenal function. Borage contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid, that has effects on components of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis, balancing the secretion of aldosterone that is reduced in Addison`s disease.
Astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus) - Astragalus has properties that help to balance the immune system which can be compromised in pets with Addison`s disease. Bistort (Polygonum bistorta) Bistort is an astringent, soothing, anti-inflammatory herb that has tonic effect on the liver and kidneys. It also helps with gastrointestinal issues, like diarrhea which is one of the symptoms present in Addison`s disease.
Eleuthero (Eleutherococcus senticosus) - Eleuthero is a tonic with a modulating effect on major stress axis including pituitary glands, hypothalamus, and adrenal glands. It can increase resistance to infection that help to support the adrenal gland. In addition, it protects the immune system, and contains powerful antioxidants that help scavenge free radicals.
Wild Yam (Diocorea villosa) - Wild Yam is anti-inflammatory herb that contains steroidal saponins (dioscin, dogenin), which is used in the preparation of steroid hormones and helps normalize hormone production which is decreased in Addison` disease.
Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) - Licorice is beneficial for the adrenal gland, endocrine, digestive and respiratory system. The main phytochemical of licorice is glycyrrhizic acid helps stimulate the adrenal gland. Licorice also has an anti-inflammatory action like hydrocortisone and another corticosteroid hormones.
Dandelion - Dandelion has anti-inflammatory, antineoplastic, antioxidant, endocrine, gastrointestinal, hepatic and hypoglycemic effects. Dandelion is an anti-inflammatory and tonic herb that helps protect the kidneys which can be injured when the pet presents with Addison`s disease. It can also stimulate liver secretion and improve digestion.
MILK THISTLE
Silybum marianum - As renal failure frequently occurs in Addison’s disease, Milk Thistle can be very beneficial because of its renal protective effects. Several animal studies support the renal protective effects of silymarin against toxic agents. The liver protective properties of Milk Thistle can also be beneficial for pets who take pharmaceutical medications for the treatment of Addison’s disease.

How to Administer Shake well before use. The easiest method is to use the dropper provided and place the drops into your pet’s food or favorite treat. You can also use the dropper and squirt directly into the pet’s mouth. Some pets can be finicky, if this occurs consider hiding the drops in foods most pet’s love such as fish, chicken or yogurt or a favorite treat. If your pet only eats dry food then soak a few kibbles at feeding time.
For Best Results Herbal dietary supplements are beneficial to the health and well-being of your pet and are safe for long-term use. Every pet responds to natural herbal supplements differently, therefore it is important to be consistent and administer the product daily. Supplements generally take two to four weeks to take effect, however this will vary from one animal to the next.
