Olive leaf and the common Cold & Flu

Flu and Colds

Olive leaf is known as a Bug-Buster and has gathered much attention for it's cold & flu prevention/treatment. Natural antibiotics like olive leaf contain anti-fungal and anti-viral properties which may be the most effective means of combating many of today's new strains of colds and flus, including many potent varieties of influenza and para-influenza viruses. Olive leaf interacts with the protein in cold and flu virus particles to halt infection, according to a recent report published in Alternative Medicine Review.  Additionally, the energy and immune system boosting properties of olive leaf dramatically increase the body's inherent ability to resist illness and dis-ease.  Chronic colds and upper respiratory infections are often a sign of an overwhelmed immune system.  The antioxidants contained within olive leaf have the effect of eliminating damaging free radicals, leaving far more of the immune system's resources available for fighting off colds and flus.  Olive leaf's combined qualities of boosting the effectiveness of the immune system and weakening the virus itself creates a powerful, safe and natural defense against these, and other pathogens.  This leaves you invigorated, happy and healthy all year round.  Consistency is the key to establishing this natural defensive barrier, whether through teas, capsules, extracts, or a combination of all three.   Olive leaf is safe to take in conjunction with a flu shot, histamine blockers, and traditional cold medications.  Unlike over the counter remedies, which have been shown to be detrimental to the health of young children, olive leaf may be used by persons of all ages.
Olive leaf acts as a preventative measure and acts to shorten the duration of colds and the flu.
