In 2004, nearly one in three adults in the United States suffered from high blood pressure. High blood pressure is one of the high risk factors that, in conjunction with other risks, such as high blood cholesterol, obesity, or diabetes, could lead to stroke, the third major cause of death for both men and women in the United States.
In addition, high blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart disease and diabetes. The first line of defense against premature death is to adopt a healthy lifestyle, starting with a balanced diet that includes daily servings of fruit and vegetables, coupled with increased physical activity.
The olive tree has a strong symbolic character – it stands for peace and strength. Historically, olive leaves were used to treat fevers, as well as for the topical treatment of wounds or infections. In Yemen, people used to eat and chew olive leaves, and it was reported that Yemenites rarely suffered from diabetes. Olive leaf tea is commercially available in Europe, recommended for use in case of high blood pressure.
We use the olive flower essence in a number of our Deva Flower Remedies, sold on our website Alternative Health Networks. The olive flower with a greenish white color, having the Latin name of Oleo Europaea, helps those who suffer from complete exhaustion and mental fatigue, leading to confusion. Olive flower helps to alleviate all of these symptoms.
