Olive tree therapy

newly discovered ancient Mediterranean healing practices. With numerous examples of practical application.

   
Knowledge on the olive tree’s vital force goes back a long way in history: Olive tree therapy is likely to be the most ancient type of therapy of the occident. It has now been enhanced on the basis of the latest scientific research results. It has become possible to map their active agents by examining traditional recipes from the Mediterranean region using modern methods.

Olive tree therapy is a symbiosis of the theory of healing plants, physiotherapy and healthy alimentation – a path leading to comprehensive health care. Much more than simple wellness, it is rather a truly holistic concept for healing and vitalising body and soul. The most important ingredients are olive leaves and their essences. They are used to prepare subtly harmonising body and face packs, massage oils and other specially developed applications. An additional, relevant cornerstone of olive tree therapy is Mediterranean food:

• The tree of life: symbol of peace and veteran among plants
• The elixir of the ancient world: effects of olive leaf essence
• Medicine from the Mediterranean: healing and caring with the olive tree
• The pioneer: the story of its re-discovery
• Green gold: olive oil
• From Mediterranean kitchens: the Mediterranean diet

The olive tree is considered an all-round panacea: it helps curing different types of complaints, has unique effects in natural cosmetics, preserves health as well as youth, and is a cornerstone of healthy alimentation. Olive tree therapy is a must for everyone aiming at a conscious, healthy way of life.
