The OLIVE TREE doesn’t just produce olives to be eaten or pressed. Its leaves, when slowly simmered in water for a few hours, create a potent tonic that can help you stay healthy and help prevent many diseases. This fact was known to the Jewish people thousands of years ago. A verse in Ezekiel makes reference to the health promoting properties of the leaves –
“… and their fruit shall be for food, and their leaves for healing.” (Ezekiel 47:12)
Studies have shown that the OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT INFUSION works to decrease hypertension, adds protective qualities for the heart and circulatory system and can reduce the incidence of colds, flues and other respiratory issues.
The antioxidant factor of the olive leaf is even higher than green tea. It is also a GREAT SOURCE of anti-cancer compounds and has anti-malarial properties.
Malaria was one of the greatest challenges for the first pioneers in the Galilee in the early part of the 20th century. Perhaps that’s why they planted so many OLIVE GROVES.
