Olive Leaf

Olive leaf or Olea europaea has been used as a medicine since ancient times in Egypt for boosting the immune system and promoting increased energy. The extract of the leaf may help in treating infections caused by viruses and bacteria. Since it helps to promote dilatation of blood vessels, olive leaf may be effective in normalising blood pressure and may be good for the heart. Its antioxidant effects also may prevent the same blood vessels from damage and reduce the risk of a coronary occlusion in the heart.
