Olive leaf


Olive leaf is the leaf of the olive tree. While olive oil is well known for its flavor and health benefits, the leaf has been used for medicinal purpose for a long time. In the early 1900’s doctors used olive leaf as a remedy for malaria. The active ingredient of olive leaf is calcium enolate which is an effective killer of many types of bacteria and virus. 

Effective for: 
  • Epstein-Barr virus 
  • Gonorrhea 
  • Hepatitis B 
  • Herpes 
  • Influenza 
  • Pneumonia 
  • Shingles 
  • Surgical infections 
  • Tuberculosis 
  • Urinary tract infections 
  • Viral encephalitis 
  • Viral meningitis 
  • Yeast infection 

Supplements: 
Olive leaf extract available in capsules or a liquid form. 


Recommended Dose: 
For infections initial dose of 500 mg capsule per day, increase up to 2000 mg per day over the course of one week. 

Side effects and precautions: 
  • Olive leaf extract is entirely non toxic. 
  • A temporary side effect is that taking too much too soon can make one sicker before they get better. This is due to the fact that a large number of dying microorganism e.g yeast, release a lot of toxins that the liver cannot remove efficiently. The reaction passes shortly after the dose in scaled down.
