Olive Leaf Liquid Extract

Description

Olive leaf liquid extract comes from the same Mediterranean tree from which olive oil is produced. Like the oil, the leaf contains antioxidant compounds. Of particular interest is a chemical called oleuropein, which is the same antioxidant polyphenol responsible for the tangy, slightly bitter taste of good quality olive oil. The whole herb is tinctured or used to make tea, usually in combination with other herbs to enhance flavor.

Even though olive leaves are far less well-known than the fruit of the tree and the precious oil derived from it, a steadily growing body of science points to the leaf as highly valuable, and worthy of its ancient medicinal reputation.

The olive leaf was first recorded to have been used medicinally in Ancient Egypt, where it was adored as a symbol of heavenly power. It was also the Egyptians who first started making soap and cosmetics with olive leaves and oil.

In Greece it was a symbol of life. The Olive Leaf is one of Greek Medicine’s all-round tonics, and a remedy for keeping strong and healthy. The Greeks were said to grind the dry leaves down into a powder form to use as herbal medicine for infections.

Olive leaf was referenced as medicine in the Bible. “The fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.” (Ezekiel 47:12)

In traditional Moroccan medicine, it was used to control diabetes and stabilize blood sugar.

More and more studies are proving that olive leaf liquid extract is a powerful medicinal tool, with benefits including immune system support, increased energy and promoting healthy blood pressure. Because of the promising scientific studies indicating its medicinal potential, olive leaf continues to gain recognition for its various health benefits.

When it comes to brain health or fighting cancer, seeing the effects of olive leaf liquid extract takes time. It is necessary to supplement daily. While this herb is quite amazing, the benefits don’t occur overnight. A few months of supplementation are necessary for the anti-oxidants to work through the body and regenerate.

However, if using Olive Leaf Extract as a natural herpes remedy, results can happen within a matter of hours to a few days. Outbreaks retract quickly – supplementation year round may prevent them altogether.

Olive leaf liquid extract comes in 2, and 4 ounces bottles with droppers.
The 8 oz size is a refill and comes to you capped.
