Description: Trees of up to 10 m in height, easily recognised by their irregular, often gnarled trunks, opposite pairs of oblong, dark green leaves that are silvery below, small, white flowers that have only two stamens and distinctive fruits (olives).
Origin: The cultivated olive is a cultigen of the mediterranean region (Europe, North Africa and western Asia). Commercially grown in the Mediterranean (90%), but also Africa, Australia and South America.
Parts Used: Dried leaf (Oleae folium) and fruit oil (Olivae oleum; cold-pressed from the oily mesocarp).
Therapeutic Category: Traditional anti-hypertensive and diuretic (leaf); cholagogue, mild laxative (oil, internal use); demulcent and emollient (oil, external use).
Uses and Properties: Olive leaf is used in Mediterranean countries as a traditional remedy for a wide variety of ailments, mainly as antihypertensive and diuretic. It is also used for its hypoglycaemic, antipyretic and antispasmodic activities, to name only a few. In addition to its use as cholagogue and laxative, the oil is useful as a solvent for some drugs and in refined form for parenteral preparations.
Preparation and Dosage: A daily dose of about 1 - 2 g of olive leaf has been recommended (taken as infusion, tincture or tablet). For internal use, 15 - 30 mL of oil is taken with meals; for external use, the pure oil is applied or it is slightly warmed to body temperature for application to the rectal region or ears.
Acive Ingredients: Leaves contain secoiridoids, including oleuropein (the main compound), ligustroside and oleacein, triterpenoids (oleanolic acid, uvaol), sterols, flavonoids (chrysoeriol and apigenin and luteolin glycosides) and various phenolic acids. Olive oil represents about 30% of the ripe fruit and is rich in triglycerides consisting mainly of oleic acid and linoleic acid.
Pharmacological Effects: It is known that oleuropein lowers blood pressure by increasing coronary flow; furthermore, a recent study has shown that oleacein inhibits the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE).The German Commission E does not recommend olive leaves or olive oil to treat hypertension. Oleuropein has significant antispasmodic, antioxidant and lipid-lowering activities.
Status: Traditional medicine; Pharm.
The sweet oil and bitter leaves of the olive tree are beneficial in treating disorders related to the large intestine, the liver, and the gallbladder. The oil is nutritive, emollient, and mildly aperient, while the leaves are astringent, antiseptic, antihypertensive, and anti-inflammatory.
