Hand-harvested olive leaves, air-dried, 80 g

Olive leaves possess remarkable therapeutic virtues, recognized since antiquity and confirmed by modern science. Rich in active compounds (notably oleuropein and antioxidant polyphenols), they offer numerous health benefits:

Main benefits

• Blood pressure regulation: Oleuropein helps relax blood vessels, which contributes to naturally lowering high blood pressure.

• Powerful antioxidant action: They protect cells against oxidative stress and premature aging caused by free radicals.

• Immune system support: Their antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties help the body fight against infections (colds, flu, etc.).

• Blood sugar management: They help improve insulin sensitivity and regulate blood sugar levels, which is beneficial in preventing type 2 diabetes.

• Cardiovascular protection: They help reduce "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and prevent the oxidation of blood lipids.

  How to consume them?

  • As an infusion (herbal tea): Boil the equivalent of one tablespoon of dried leaves in a cup of water for 10 minutes. You can drink 2 to 3 cups per day.

  • As food supplements: Available in the form of liquid extracts, capsules, or tablets standardized in oleuropein.

  Precautions: Although natural, olive leaves can interact with certain treatments for hypertension or diabetes. It is recommended to consult a healthcare professional before starting a course, especially in the case of pregnancy, breastfeeding, or ongoing medical treatment.
