Recorded evidence of olive leaf's medicinal use dates back thousands of years: it was used by ancient Egyptian and Merranean cultures to treat a variety of health conditions. Olive leaf is the first botanical cited in the Bible Ezekiel 47:12 as a natural healer: The fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine. Active compounds The primary medical 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. Nutritional and medicinal uses 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. Olive leaf is commonly used to fight colds and flu, yeast infections, and viral infections such as the hard-to-treat Epstein-Barr disease, shingles and herpes. Olive leaf is also good for the heart. Olive leaf has shown to reduce low-density lipoproteins LDL, or bad cholesterol. Researchers have found that olive leaf lowers blood pressure see below and increase blood flow by relaxing the arteries. Olive leaf harbors antioxidant properties that help protect the body from the continuous onslaught of free radicals. Free radicals are highly reactive chemical substances that, when oxidized, can cause cellular damage if left unchecked. Some recent research on the olive leaf has shown its antioxidants to be effective in treating some tumors and cancers such as liver, prostate and breast cancer but the research on this is preliminary. Olive leaf can be taken as a dried leaf tea, powder or capsule. The leaf extracts can be taken in powder, liquid extract or capsule form though the fresh leaf liquid extracts are quickly gaining popularity due to the broader range of healing compounds they contain. Side effects These may be significant, and may include lowering blood pressure and blood glucose; both of these effects can be life-threatening. Sufferers of low blood pressure and diabetes are particularly at risk. Interactions with drugs which cause these effects may be dangerous. 4 Soaps and cosmetics Olive leaf extracts are combined with olive oil in soaps and skin creams for application to the skin or other body surfaces.
