Swiss researchers have scientifically revealed that the extract of the olive tree leaf is a natural pain reliever. Studies have shown that people over the age of 55 relieve knee and joint pain.
Experts, who stated that olive tree leaf can act as a natural pain reliever, underlined that it is more effective especially on patients with severe knee joint pain.
OLIVE TREE LEAF BENEFITS
The Swiss researchers who led the study say olive leaf extract may provide an alternative to traditional pain relievers that can cause side effects after long-term use. The thin, flat leaves of olive trees contain compounds called polyphenols, which are known to have an anti-inflammatory effect.
Inflammation is the biggest factor in patients with chronic joint pain. Studies have shown that olive oil can protect the heart by reducing fatty deposits in the coronary arteries. Olives are also known to help lower the risk of breast cancer, ulcerative colitis and even depression.
