Olive leaf medicinal herb can maintain healthy, energetic and productive life

Olive leaf medicinal herb is the leaf from the olive tree (Olea europaea). The olive tree is native to Africa, Asia as well as the Mediterranean. It is a traditional herbal medicine that has been used for thousand of years.  It was originally utilized by the ancient Egyptians and that in itself is a sign to show how old it is.  Natural olive is yet another one of God's greatest creation.  It is a miracle herb for me.  The extracted oil from the leaf is very popularly and is widely used.

This leaf was present even in Biblical times when Noah released a dove after the flood to see if the water had receded from the face of the earth.   The dove did return in the evening with a fresh leaf in its beak.  This is yet another sign to show how old this medicinal herb is.
