spots and boils
To fully cover the health benefits of olive leaf extract would take a book, possibly volumes, at least enough space to list all of the conditions for which it is beneficial and why it works. This article focuses on a single body part that is a major concern to many of us. That is the skin.
Some of the common skin conditions include:
- Acne
- Age spots
- Boils
- Eczema
- Bruises
- Dermatitis
- Fungal infections
- Psoriasis
- Cancer
- Stretch marks
- Sagging or decreased firmness
- Warts
- Wrinkles
Some of these conditions are caused by viral or bacterial infections. Others are caused by or are forms of inflammation. Stretch marks and some of the age-related conditions are caused by damage to the elastic collagen fibers.
The risk of skin cancer increases with overexposure to the sun, but the underlying cause is damage to the cellular DNA, which is primarily caused by free radicals, although chronic inflammation plays a role, as well. Free radical damage is one of the causes of wrinkles and other signs of aging.
The health benefits of olive leaf extract apply to all of the conditions listed above. That’s right. The leaves of a single plant contain compounds that have anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity.
Antioxidants protect the skin and all of the cells of the body from damaging free radicals. There are dozens of different antioxidants in nature. There may be hundreds more that are yet to be identified.
Many of the health benefits of olive leaf extract are due to the unique antioxidants that it contains. Those antioxidants include oleocanthal, oleuropein and hydoxytyrosol. Hydoxytyrosol is one of the most potent antioxidants. It has the ability to neutralize ten times more free radicals than green tea catechins and has twice the radical absorption of coenzyme Q10.
Some antioxidants work best when taken orally. Others may work better when applied directly. For example, creams containing coenzyme Q10 have been shown to reverse wrinkles, something that no other antioxidant cream has been shown to do.
If you are concerned about the problems associated with aging, the best approach is to increase your antioxidant intake with a good multi-nutritional supplement and use a cream that contains a good concentration of coenzyme Q10. While there is no doubt that the health benefits of olive leaf extract will improve your skin’s appearance, adding some good skincare products to your regimen will help you achieve faster results.
Acne, for example, is probably one of the most common problems other than wrinkles. Overgrowth of bacteria and inflammation play a role. Extracts from olive leaves would help with both of those, but so would a lotion containing manuka honey, because of its natural antibacterial activity. If you hit the zits from the inside out and from the outside in, then you are bound to see the desired results.
