Olive leaves from the olive tree “Olea europaea”,
Olive leaves from the olive tree “Olea europaea”, is native to the Mediterranean basin and is known for their medicinal properties since ancient times. It is the first herb mentioned in the Bible. It is also described by the prophet Ezekiel 47:12, “His fruit shall be for meat, and his leaf for medicine. The ancient Egyptians used it in the process of mummifying their lords as well as for various treatments. Various peoples of the Mediterranean, including the Greeks, used it as a folk remedy for fever. In ancient Greece, many sages used olive leaves. Dioskouridis Pedanios was the first to describe the recipe for the olive leaf extract. Celsus boiled the leaves together with wine to make a wound healing paste.
Pharmaceutical report
The first report of the medicinal use of olive leaves
The first report of the medicinal use of olive leaves in modern times was in 1843 when Daniel Hanberry of England reported that a bitter substance from olive leaf tea was the factor responsible for treating malaria and related fevers. These findings were reported in 1854 in the Pharmaceutical Journal, along with dosing instructions and a prescription for making therapeutic tea. In 1898, a powerful decoction of olive leaves was reported to King’s American Dispensatory as helpful in regulating body temperature.
The extract
Method of preparation
For the production of the extract, we use the knowledge and experience of four generations around the olive tree. We do not use any chemical additives. Our method is by no means destructive of the leaf ingredients. On the contrary, with our method (low-temperature negative pressure extraction), we achieve a greater concentration of the leaf components. (Over 20,000mg of antioxidants per litre). All our production method involves natural operations on the leaves to collect all the components of the leaves in the proportion given to us by the olive trees depending on the variety of the tree, location and climatic conditions where the olive tree grows. We keep the proportions of active antioxidants intact and do not isolate them. This way we achieve a product 100% pure, without chemical additives, with the maximum concentration and synergistic action of antioxidants and of course with the maximum benefits for the user.
The olive leaf contains a wide phenolic profile, of which the major elements are shown below:
Oleuropein, Hydroxytyrosol, Rutin, Catechin, Luteolin, Diosmetin, Caffeic acid, Verbascoside, Vanillic acid, Tyrosol, Vanillin
