Olive Leaf Tincture || Olea europaea

Olea europaea, is the late name for Olive leaf. This herb has been foraged from trees around the Sunshine Coast and infused into a tincture, an alcohol extract, from fresh material. This herb was considered sacred in ancient Eypgpt and due to its healing powers it was considered regal, even heavenly. Olive leaf works on the immune system and the cardiovascular system mainly. For these reasons, it may lower blood pressure, improve blood flow, reduce inflammation in the body, protect against bacterial & funal infection, and boost the body's immune response. It can be used at the first sign of a low immune system.
 
Please consult your health practitioner and take the time time to do your own research before consuming and plant preparation. Ensure there are no interactions, if you are currently taking medication.
 
Alcohol extracts are far superior to any other method of extraction. It extracts the most amount of the chemicals compared to any other solvent. It helps the medicine to also diffuse quickly into the bloodstream.
 
Alcohol is warming and medicine unto itself. To add, it also can esterify vitamins, oils and other medicinal chemicals making them more bioavailable and water soluble.
 
To be really specific: the amount of alcohol in tinctures is incredibly tiny. Less than you will get from eating a few pieces of bread.
 
If you are taking 20 drops of a 60 percent alcohol tincture every hour for an acute condition, you will get less than 2ml of alcohol over the course of a day.
 
If you are taking a general dose of 20 drops three times daily, this is less alcohol than you will get from eating two slices of bread.
 
If alcohol is a serious problem for you, then consider alternative extracts.
 
Please store in a cool dark place, out of sunlight, heat & air exposure.
