Like the oil, olive tree leaves (Olea europa) have impressive healthful, wellness , anti-aging , antioxidant qualities. They live a long time (some over 3,000 years) by producing Oleuropein which resists diseases and pests. The leaves of certain olive trees (Manzanillo and Mission) contain Oleuropein and other qualities that are delicious and can be of health benefit to people, all naturally. Olive leaf acts like an antibiotic by fighting the "bad" microbes we are exposed to, but it is NOT an antibiotic ,.... Far from it! Unlike antibiotics olive leaf "stuns" invaders long enough for the immune system to balance the bodies' "bouquet". Antibiotics kill invaders but don't strengthen the immune system. The benefits of these leaves can be found in olive leaf extract, powder and herb tea. The active component of Olive leaf has been found to: * Powerfully strengthens the immune system * Normalizes blood pressure * Increases blood flow in the coronary system * Helps inhibit oxidation of low-density lipids (bad cholesterol) * Helps prevent intestinal muscle spasms * Neutralizes the production of reverse transcriptase as well as protease * Inactivates harmful microorganisms by dissolving their outer lining: proving highly effective against a remarkably wide range of viruses. * Exhibit powerful anti-parasitic and anti-fungal properties. * Acts effectively at low concentrations without harmful influences on the host cell mechanism * Be extremely safe and non-toxic, even at high concentrations. in preliminary studies the olive leaf appears good for the skin, heart and effective against nearly all viruses. Olivus tea appears to act like many antioxidants to enhance the body's natural immune system. Olive Leaf Tea, a natural herbal antibiotic and antioxidant that can help protect you from many diseases.

Oleuropein, a bitter compound present throughout the entire olive tree and removed from olives in the curing process, has been determined to be a major part of the tree's ability to resist pests and disease.

Oleuropein and products from its hydrolysis such as elenolic acid, aglycone, and calcium elenolate, a salt derived from elenolic acid, all have their own unique, potent, and multifaceted attributes to add to the anti-microbial functions of the olive leaf. Oleuropein is also one of the major components found in the polyphenolic portion of olive oil. Olive Leaf Active Properties Olive trees are tough.
