Re: Borage Oil for eyes

[Guest guest]

Yes, I had the same problem! However, I noticed that ever since I

started taking a different brand (which is a smaller capsule), my

hair doesn't get greasy anymore. Note, a lot of folks here have

advised against just taking borage oil. They say it's better to take

a combination of oils, ie, the Essential Fatty Acids (EFA), which

include borage. The first brand I bought were these huge capsules;

unfortunately, they made my hair greasy. I then switched to

Metagenics' Omega-EFA capsules, which are about half the size.

You may also want to try eye scrubs and putting warm compresses on

your eyes. I've noticed that has helped a lot.
