Olive Leaf and Branch, harvested from the sacred olive tree native to the **Mediterranean region—including Greece, Italy, and parts of the Middle East—**has been used in herbal traditions dating back thousands of years for its remarkable healing and protective properties. The primary intention of this herb is to fortify the immune system, promote cardiovascular wellness, and support the body’s natural defense against pathogens.
Rich in oleuropein, a powerful antioxidant and antimicrobial compound, olive leaf and branch have shown significant benefits in lowering blood pressure, stabilizing blood sugar levels, reducing inflammation, and combating bacterial and viral infections. Traditionally and in modern research, it has demonstrated results in supporting conditions such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, cold and flu viruses, chronic fatigue, and even shingles and herpes outbreaks, making it a deeply respected herbal ally. While olive leaf is generally safe for adults and older children in moderate amounts, it is not recommended for young children without professional guidance, especially due to its potential blood pressure-lowering effects.
Studies have shown that olive leaf extract can help reduce LDL cholesterol, improve insulin sensitivity, and inhibit the replication of viruses and bacteria, supporting both immune and cardiovascular health in measurable ways. However, this herb should be avoided by individuals who are taking blood pressure medications, insulin, or blood thinners, as it may enhance the effects of these drugs and lead to drops in blood pressure or blood sugar levels. Those with known allergies to olive tree pollen or who are pregnant or breastfeeding should also use caution. Revered for both its ancient roots and modern effectiveness, Olive Leaf and Branch continue to offer deep nourishment, protection, and balance for the body in times of stress and vulnerability.
