Olive leaves (Oleae folium)
The olive tree basically has two medicinal substances, but both are not officially recognized. These are the dried leaves of the olive tree (olive leaves), which fall into the field of traditional or folk medicine, as well as olive oil, which has been proven to have beneficial properties, but is a food.
Olive leaves are said to reduce blood pressure. In folk medicine, olive leaves are used in arteriosclerosis, rheumatism, gout, diabetes mellitus and fever.
Olive leaf tea In former times the healing effect of the olive leaf was used above all over the tea preparation. For this you can use fresh or dried leaves. The leaves can stay whole. But it makes sense to downsize them, as they then develop a more intense effect and not quite as long pull. The recommendations and concentrations are manifold. You can try the following preparation: 1 tablespoon crushed olive leaves are poured over with 250 ml of boiling water. Cover the tea for 10 to 20 minutes, then pour it through a sieve. The longer you let the tea go, the more its effect unfolds. Unfortunately, it also makes him more and more bitter. In order to alleviate this bitterness, you can add other herbs (eg lemon balm or mint), peelings of untreated lemons or oranges, spices (eg cardamom) or honey to the tea. A stronger variant gives the amount of 20 g of olive leaves to 1 liter of boiled water. The brew is boiled down to 250 ml and drunk throughout the day.
