<pre>Dear Kim

Your olive leaf tea sounds interesting. I would like to try once a cup of
olive leaf tea.

I wonder how you prepare the tea, do you boil the leaves together with the
water, for how long, and how many leaves do you take for one cup? What does
the tea taste like? Does it have a good taste or is it mainly healthy?

Greetings,
Hanna

We simmer 250 grams of fresh olive leaves in 4 litres of water for 2 hours.
We then keep this in the refrigerator as a stock. We prepare a drink by
diluting the stock 50:50. It tastes very bitter, but if you have the flu or
some other virus etc., you wont be too concerned about taste. We drink a cup
every day as a preventive. For a single cup as an experiment, I would guess
5 or so leaves steeped for quite some time would give a reasonable
approximation.

regards,
Kim

You got it. As far as I am aware, all edible olive tree varieties contain
the phenolic compound Oleuropein, but I have not seen any research on the
relative concentrations for cultivars.

That I do not know, sorry.

<pre>I hope the following translation helps clarify things. ('thor': espero que
esta traducción sirve; gracias por la información...)

[N.B.: I am not a physician! Although I speak Spanish, the technical/medical
terms were unfamiliar to me. I found translations for most terms at the
following site:

http://allserv.rug.ac.be/~rvdstich/e.../language.html
(isn't the internet wonderful for such things?)]

"From a medicinal point of view, the composition of olive leaves has the
following benefits:
OLEOEUROPEINA or OLEOEUROPEOSIDOS relieve high blood pressure by widening
heart and peripheral blood vessels, control spasms, serve as a diuretic for
irregular heartbeats through the actions of flavonoids, triterpenos (?), and
potassium salts, and also some blood sugar lowering activity.

Consume one glass every 8 hours before meals (30g-80g/liter solution)."

Technical/Medical terms with their English equivalent:
OLEOEUROPEINA/OLEOEUROPEOSIDOS: ? (guessing european olive oil-related;
e.g., oleo=oil)
VASODILATADOR: vasodilatation (blood vessel widening)
ESPASMOLITICO: spasmolytic (anti-spasm drug)
CORONARIODILATADOR: coronary vessel dilatation (heart vessel widening)
ANTIARRITMICO: anti-arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat) drug
DIURETIC: induces urination
FLAVONOIDES: flavonoids (serve as antioxidants)
(see http://www.thorne.com/whatsnew/96TR091205.txt)
TRITERPENOS: ?
POTASICAS SALT: potassium salts (?)
HIPOGLUCEMIANTE: hypoglycaemia-->hypoglycaemiate (lowers blood sugar)

<pre>Not to overkill this, but as a follow up i did a search on "olive leaf tea"
and came up with the following english info sites:

http://www.oliveleafextract.com/index.html
http://www.eastparkresearch.com/clinic.html
http://www.1001herbs.com/olive-leaf/


i don't know how reliable any of the information is, so use your judgement
in assessing the value of the information. Most of these sites seem to be
selling olive leaf extract, so they may exaggerate the efficacy of the leaf
properties.
