As a medicinal herb, Borage is used internally to treat anxiety, colds, congestion, cough, depression, fever, hot flashes, insomnia, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), upset stomach, and urinary problems, and externally to treat insect bites and stings, skin irritations, and swelling.

      They look clean and classic on the table.
      Style: 200 Count, Style: 200 Count
      I really like these napkins. They are soft and have a cloth-like feel, which makes them nicer to use than basic paper napkins. The 2-ply material feels strong and doesn’t fall apart easily when wiping hands or small spills, so I don’t need to use many at once. They look clean and classic on the table, so they work well for everyday meals, snacks, or casual gatherings. Having 200 in a pack means they last a long time, and they are good value for daily use.

      Great quality and very durable!
      Style: 400 Count, Style: 400 Count
      I’ve been using these paper napkins daily and I’m honestly impressed with the quality. They are thick, soft, and don’t tear easily, even when used with heavier meals. What I like the most is that they absorb well without falling apart, which makes a big difference compared to cheaper options. The size is also perfect for everyday use, whether it’s for quick meals or when guests come over. Overall, a great value for the price and definitely something I’ll keep repurchasing. Highly recommend!

      Dixie Is Good But
      Size: 150 Count (Pack of 1)
      Dixie paper plates are good but these are better! The durability of them is just as good as Dixie. The leak-proofness is just as good as Dixie. The 10 inch size makes them versatile for everyday use. The main reason why they are better than Dixie is because they’re a lot cheaper and you get double the amount for less $$

      Great quality. Don’t think it twice and buy!
      Size: 100 Count
      When I bought this plates I was not so sure of the quality of the material however, they exceeded my expectations. They are thick and durable. The design and color were perfect and matched with my decoration. The amount of plates for the value was a great deal and I will definitely buy them again and again. Trust me when I say I don’t like most of the disposable paper plates out there and this make a huge difference with how good quality they are and how inexpensive they’re.

      Strong Enough for Everyday Use, No Surprises
      Size: 150 Count (Pack of 1)
      These are exactly what you want from everyday disposable plates. They’re sturdy enough to handle normal meals without bending or soaking through, even with heavier or messier foods. I’ve used them for things like pasta and leftovers, and they held up better than expected for a budget option. The 10-inch size is a good middle ground, big enough for full meals but not oversized. They also hold up fine in the microwave without getting too soft. They’re still paper plates at the end of the day, so if you’re loading them up with really heavy or greasy food, you might want to double up just to be safe. Overall, these are a reliable, no-frills option that works well for daily use, gatherings, or quick cleanup situations.
