ego sum borago quae gaudia semper ago 146
Ancient Latin saying, known to the Roman legionnaires, also mentioned by Alonso de Herrera in his General Agriculture of the sixteenth century : "I am the borage that I always give joys". Pedanio Dioscorides Anazarbeo and Cayo Pliny Segundo the old, both from the first century, considered it antidepressant because it brightened the heart. Today we know that it stimulates adrenaline. Although what probably stimulated and anesthetized soldiers before the battles was the wine in which the plant was macerated.
