You’re Off!
The preparations have been made, the excitement is running high, you’ve waited for months and at last it has arrived - your dream holiday! You can’t wait to get on the flight and slump into your seat while the flight attendant does all the serving.

Mummy I feel sick!

If you have ever been through a similar situation you will probably travel with an armoury of medicines in your luggage. Illness before or early on in your holiday can wreck a year or more of planning, not to mention the excitement and anticipation built up in the final weeks of waiting, eventually spoiling what should have been a well-earned break.
Even if you don’t have children, when your own body is taken out of the stress of the workplace it may succumb to opportunistic infections as it ramps down from fight or flight mode to rebuild itself. This is even more likely if you are holidaying in a remote place where your immune system is not attuned to killing the local viral/bacterial strains.

How do you keep sickness at bay?
Detailed advice on vaccinations and medication for dangerous exotic diseases is easily available but what versatile over-the-counter healthy product can one take, without unpleasant side-effects, to prevent the most common travel bugs from taking hold? After all they have just as much potential to turn a relaxing vacation resort into an expensive away-from-home sick-bay and spoil all the would-be pleasant experiences.

Olive Leaf Extract is one such herbal product, available in liquid and capsule forms for different applications. As well as being effective against a wide range of pathogens, olive leaf extract has no harmful side-effects and has a multitude of other benefits, some of which have only recently been rediscovered by modern man, although used for centuries by the ancients. Not only can it be taken when illness strikes, it can be taken beforehand to ward off an attack when it comes.

A spicy gourmet treat.
Now picture going out for an exciting, romantic dinner in a faraway country, only to discover too late the food is well seasoned for reasons other than taste - a little over the eat-by date! You know trouble is on the way, and romance is on the way out! This is an occasion designed for Olive Leaf Extract tincture.

Is there research to support all this?
Absolutely! Olive Leaf Extract has been shown in the laboratory to kill or inhibit a wide range of bacteria, viruses and fungi and because of this it is the ideal first line of defence against germs even before they have been pinpointed, making the situations described above treatable before they have a chance to become a problem. Usually, if correctly taken, Olive Leaf weakens the attack to the point where your immune system can easily deal with it and your holiday can continue without missing a beat. In other cases the infection is toned down to the degree that a day or two of taking olive leaf extract and resting is all it takes to have you well again. Generally only a very small number of cases require a trip to the local pharmacy or doctor.
