Healing Power of OLIVE OIL, OLIVE LEAF and OLIVE FLOWER

From the time of my childhood, when I started to read various myths and legends of ancient Mediterranean life, I was mesmerized with power and mystery of olive trees which were for many thousand of years accompanied people living in this area : giving them shed during the long and hot summer days, generously feeding them with their fruits (and oil), healing them with leaves and bark, inspiring them to write many songs and poems about their magical beauty, strength, persistence and peacefulness...

Mediterranean area is homeland of olive trees, for many millenia, although nowadays they are cultivated all around the world in areas with warmer climate.

Olive trees are famous because of their extraordinary longevity due to the superb self-regeneration abilities- in Israel/Palestine area there can be find olive trees which are even 3000 years old. In Croatia, on Briuni islands there is an olive three 1600 years old ! All these ancient trees are still bearing the fruits every year - their vitality is unbelievably strong. Even when several hundreds years old trees are removed to some other place - they continue to live, grow and prosper.

Mediterranean would never be so magical without olive trees which silver-green lives gently whisper their songs on every breeze of the wind.

Olive trees are able to survive in conditions where there is constant lack of water on summer days, they often live just in poor or rocky soils,are constantly exposed to salty sea-winds, they cannot stand only extreme cold.

In coastal part of my country we call them "beauties". Olives we call "gold". They deserve these titles for sure.

When I recently started to take care about olive trees on island Iz (My Hub: My organic garden) I was amazed when I discovered this small rotten part of one olive tree which was (as one big branch) cut many years ago and somehow stayed connected with the bark. This tiny little, obviously destroyed part of the tree was able to create new, fresh, strong and healthy roots.... While clearing around the tree, I removed it from the soil thinking that was useless, but after I saw fresh roots I just realized that olive trees are even more powerful that I ever could imagine. No other tree I know would be able to create new healthy roots in such condition.

All parts of olive tree have tremendous healing properties - olives, olive oil, leaf, bark, flowers... due to the pure and amazingly strong vital energy of olive trees....

Olive trees are also known that possess power of healing emotional wounds and are able to bring people on higher level of conscioussness (trees are very intelligent creatures, what knows everyone who takes care about plants.), but for that purpose, one primarily needs to spend some time with them, in their shadow or even better - to start to take care about them.

Olive oil has great healing properties, but the best for dygestive system of many is when used cold ! If you cannot cook on it (I rarely use it for cooking), add it to the already cooked meals or to the salats.

Traditional food of Mediterranean people is bred soaked in the olive oil (so delicious), you might try to use it that way.

You can also take it as real medicine - on spoon, maybe with few drops of lemon...
