Olive Leaf - Olea europaea
Olive Leaf
is an incredible immune system booster and healer for people, horses and dogs. Olive leaf extracts, powders and gels can be found as supplements in Veterinary supply catalogs for dogs and for horses. Any health food store or herb shop will have the supplements for humans. I buy the powder and cap it for myself and my dogs and feed it in mashes to my horses. I give one capsule to my small dog daily, 2 capsules to the large dog when needed. For the horses, I add 2 tablespoons daily per horse if they are fighting something or just 1 spoon if they were exposed to something like a virus or bacteria.
Olive Leaf is anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-bacterial. It is one of the highest antioxidant containing foods available and is known to have strong anti-parasite properties. I have used Olive Leaf Extract for my own bronchitis, for intestinal flu for a friend, for a dog with bacterial diarrhea and horses with respiratory tract infections, a urinary tract infection, to support the body in healing a septic leg wound, orally to help with an eye infection and a colt who was prone to worm infestations. I found it to be effective each time.
The properties of Olive Leaf support the entire metabolism - by inhibiting pathogenic (disease causing) microbes and parasites, it allows the body a return to its own strong defense system. It works on the causes of a disorder, not just the symptoms. This means that the disorder won't simply return (perhaps stronger) after the "medicine" is stopped.
