( Olive leaf)
Olive leaf is the leaf of the olive tree (Olea europaea). While olive oil is well known for its flavor and health benefits, the leaf has been used medicinally in various times and places. Natural olive leaf and olive leaf extracts (OLE), are now marketed as anti-aging, immunostimulators, and even antibiotics. Clinical evidence has proven the blood pressure lowering effects of carefully extracted Olive Leaf Extracts. Bioassays support its antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory effects at a laboratory level. An Australian liquid extract (made directly from fresh HPLC-selected olive leaves) recently gained international attention when it was shown to have an antioxidant power almost double green tea extract and 400% higher than Vitamin C. Olive leaf extract is derived from the leaves of the olive tree. Recorded evidence of olive leaf's medicinal use dates back thousands of years it was used by ancient Egyptian and Mediterranean cultures to treat a variety of health conditions. Olive leaf is the first botanical cited in the Bible (Ezekiel 4712) as a natural healer "The fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine." The primary medicinal constituents contained in unprocessed olive leaf is believed to be the antioxidant oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol, as well as several other polyphenols and flavonoids including Oleocanthal. Olive leaf and extracts are utilized in the complementary and alternative medicine community for its ability to act as a natural pathogens killer by inhibiting the replication process of many pathogens.[1] [2] [3] More specifically, it disables infections long enough for the immune system to eliminate them and prevent pathogens from spreading.
