olive leaf

Olive oil gets all the publicity, but olive leaf is another part of the olive tree with equal, if not greater, healing properties than its oily component.

The olive tree has been used medicinally and as a prominent food source over many continents for centuries. It has even been reported that Neolithic peoples from the Mediterranean region cultivated the olive tree as far back as 8000BCE, so it’s no surprise that the Mediterranean diet has recently been named the healthiest diet.
