Borago officinalis leaf
Plante européenne utilisée pour le soutien surrénalien, anti-inflammatoire et les affections respiratoires; GLA dans les graines.
Borage leaf (Borago officinalis) is a traditional European herb used for adrenal support, anti-inflammatory, and respiratory conditions, containing rosmarinic acid, caffeic acid, allantoin, and mucilage. However, its internal use is limited due to hepatotoxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs), which require strict dosage and duration controls. The leaf is also employed as a galactagogue and expectorant, though evidence is primarily traditional.
Rosmarinic acid and caffeic acid inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis, thereby exerting anti-inflammatory effects. Allantoin promotes tissue regeneration and wound healing via fibroblast proliferation. Mucilage provides demulcent and expectorant actions by coating mucous membranes. However, pyrrolizidine alkaloids (e.g., lycopsamine) undergo hepatic metabolism to toxic pyrroles, causing veno-occlusive disease and hepatotoxicity.
