Great article on the benefits of olive oil and olive leaf.
Apparently, olives, apart from being anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and anti-fungal contain a host of nutrients, vitamins and minerals.
While the article unfortunately doesn’t discuss research and backing for these claims, it is worth investigating.
The list of benefits include:
- treatment for many skin complaints such as fungal infections and eczema
- teeth and gum problems
- digestion
- boils, rashes and mouth ulcers
- use as a diuretic
- sinus problems
- constipation, gas and acidity
- yeast infections
- influenza and other viruses
- lowers cholesterol
- cardiovascular problems
