Olive leaves organic, whole

The concentrated power of the olive tree is in the leaves

Anyone who is stressed or susceptible to viruses and colds or needs an energy booster should use olive leaf tea as a preventative measure. Olive leaves have a special effect on all diseases caused by viruses, retroviruses, fungi, parasites or bacteria. They block the virus-specific system in the infected cell and improve the cellular protective function of the organism.

In addition, the substance has a healing power that antibiotics do not have. Hildegard von Bingen already prescribed olive leaf tea to her patients for stomach upsets, gout and digestive problems.

Although olive leaves were used to treat many illnesses as early as the Middle Ages, it was not until the beginning of the 20th century that a bitter substance was isolated from the leaves, which was called oleuropein. This is partly responsible for the high resistance of the olive tree. The tree produces this bitter substance to protect itself from damage by insects and bacteria. A particularly high concentration of oleuropein is found in the leaves, with concentrations up to 3000 times higher than in the oil or fruit.

The research team at INIMS is investigating the causes of multiple sclerosis, the question of which cells of the immune system and nervous system are responsible for the inflammatory foci that develop in the brain, and in particular the development of new forms of treatment. In the early stages, tolerance induction is intended to restore the disturbed structures of the myelin sheaths of the brain and spinal cord to a normal state. A promising approach is seen in natural phenol, which can be isolated from olive oil and especially olive leaves. It crosses the blood-brain barrier and, in addition to neuroprotective effects, is said to have a number of other mechanisms of action that are beneficial for multiple sclerosis. The neuroprotective effect of phenol and its good tolerability have been confirmed in preliminary studies.

The olive leaves are enormously potent compared to other radical scavengers.
