Although borage is generally safe for most people, it is best to consult a physician before taking specific medications, as well as those who take certain medications.

It is used as a flavoring and freshener in some foods and desserts and is also used in the production of herbal remedies because of its healing properties.

It is usually appropriate to consume 1 to 2 cups of borage per day. However, it is best to consult a physician or specialist before starting any new herbal remedies.
