The Olive tree is an evergreen that is native to Asia Minor and the eastern Mediterranean region and has been cultivated since the Neolithic period. It may grow to a height of twenty-five feet with flowers and leathery, dark green leaves.
The "Tree of Life" has been revered since ancient times for its health and nutritional benefits and has often been mentioned in The Bible. A dove carried an Olive Leaf back to Noah to indicate that the flood had abated, and Moses is said to have exempted Olive growers from military service. The garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus prayed, was filled with Olive trees, and there are Olive trees still growing that date back well over a thousand years. In the mid-eighteenth century, Olive Leaf was said to cure malaria (supporting our present-day knowledge of the plant’s antibiotic qualities).
Considerable attention has been paid of late to the superior virtues of Olive oil, but recent research into the Olive Leaf has demonstrated exceptional value in the area of building natural immunity to diseases of almost every kind. In the early twentieth century, a bitter compound from the leaf, oleuropein, was isolated and shown to possess powerful disease-fighting properties; and in 1962, another component, elenolic acid, demonstrated that it could kill many kinds of viruses, bacteria and protozoans. A 1969 study claimed that Olive Leaf was effective against a minimum of fifty-six disease-causing organisms.
Let’s see how OLIVE LEAF may promote your own health and well-being:
Olive Leaf is one of the finest immune-enhancing and detoxifying supplements available and has been shown to combat virtually any infectious disease. Olive's oleuropein is a powerful disease-resistant antibacterial that counteracts infections and kills parasites, such as protozoa and worms (including ringworm).
As a powerful antiviral compound, Olive Leaf is said to inhibit the critical amino acid production needed for the growth of viruses of all kinds. In extensive testing, it deactivated or destroyed every virus (and fungus, yeast and protozoan) against which it was used. It was effective in inhibiting influenza-3 virus, many different types of herpes, colds, Ebola virus, meningitis, cold sores, pneumonia, shingles, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Epstein-Barr and viral-induced skin conditions.
As an antifungal, Olive Leaf is also effective against antibiotic-resistant fungi and yeast strains. It works against Candida, the single-celled fungi living in the bloodstream that release powerful poisons and toxins as they multiply. It is also considered effectual against Chlamydia and other vaginal yeast infections. In addition, Olive Leaf combats athlete's foot and other infectious fungal diseases.
Olive Leaf is cardiac friendly. Potent antioxidant properties in Olive Leaf appear to protect the heart and circulatory system from free radical damage, and its oleuropein content inhibits the oxidation of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) or "bad cholesterol" that are connected to various heart problems. Other research has demonstrated that Olive Leaf may significantly decrease blood pressure and increase blood flow through the coronary arteries (by dilating them), thereby further helping to ward off heart attacks.
Olive Leaf acts as a mild tranquilizer and sedative and is believed to fight nervous tension.
Most of the flavonoids in Olive Leaf are believed to possess strong anti-inflammatory properties that support relief of inflammatory arthritis, etc.
Olive Leaf is considered an astringent, as well as an antibacterial, that combats diarrheal diseases. Moreover, it works against bladder infections, bacterial skin infections, tonsillitis and pharyngitis, and is used to clear lung conditions and combat other respiratory diseases, such as pneumonia and bronchitis.
Extending an Olive Branch has always been a traditional means of offering peace since ancient times, and the Olive Leaf has remained the Symbol of Peace and Prosperity to this very day. It should really be called the Symbol of Good Health.
