Individuals who suffer from oral or genital herpes deal with the ever-present possibility of painful outbreaks and sometimes find it stressful to seek treatment. Thankfully, there may be an alternative form of therapy that does not require a prescription—olive leaf extract. Hailed as an all-natural remedy for herpes, olive leaf extract has received support from medical studies, and those who suffer from the ailment can easily find the it online.

A Little About Olive Leaf Extract

The olive plant is known to have some beneficial healing properties. Just think about all the health benefits that are attributed to olive oil, which is useful in improving cardiovascular health and gastrointestinal functions and also provides anti-aging properties.

Olive leaf extract derives from the same plant as olive oil. The plant contains oleuropein, a natural antiviral compound with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The presence of oleuropein in the olive leaf helps the plant resist pests and parasites. The ability to boost the immune system is yet another important hallmark of olive leaf products.

Researchers are now discovering that extract from olive leaves may produce an antiviral effect that can be useful in treating both oral and genital herpes. A 2016 study of olive leaf extract and its effect on herpes published in the African Journal of Microbiology Research outlines the best methods of preparing olive leaf extract to enhance its antiviral purposes.

Preserving the chemical composition of olive leaves is key to producing the extract. As you will see, one innovative company has created an extraction method that surpasses others in the development of this supplement.

Does Olive Leaf Extract Cure Herpes?

For those with herpes, the prospect of a full cure has always seemed out of reach. The nature of the illness is to lie dormant for long periods before engaging in periodic outbreaks. There is presently no known cure that completely rids the body of the infection.

However, preventing herpes outbreaks is the next best thing to a cure for most patients. In fact, if there were a supplement that could successfully eliminate outbreaks, many patients would consider it as good as a cure. Olive leaf is giving these people hope that  reducing or preventing outbreaks may be just around the corner.

d-Lenolate and the Olive Leaf Extract Cure for Herpes

Of all the olive leaf extract supplements available today, one is getting positive attention thanks to its unique extraction process: d-Lenolate, a patented olive leaf extract developed by East Park Research.

This high-quality olive leaf extract, which goes under the commercial name of d-Lenolate, can be found in a range of products, including d-Lenolate Pain Serum and d-Lenolate Probiotic, as well as topical applications and various other supplements.

The success of d-Lenolate in treating herpes and other health issues is related to the extraction process, which is designed to preserve the chemical composition of the olive leaves, resulting in a higher grade of extract.

Though d-Lenolate olive leaf extract is considered a more economical and effective form of therapy than other types of medication, you should always speak with your physician before making changes to your current health routine.

Olive Leaf Extract Offers Hope for Those with Herpes

Herpes can be a difficult illness to manage. In addition to the pain of the infection itself, sufferers must also endure the stigma imposed by society. These are issues that can potentially be alleviated with all-natural olive leaf extract as the treatment combines health benefits with discretion.

Researchers believe that olive leaf extract not only boosts the immune system but also stimulates the production of important Oct-2 proteins, which have been shown to inhibit outbreaks.

The dosage of olive leaf extract in the treatment of herpes varies from individual to individual. A good rule of thumb is to begin with 3–4 (500 mg) capsules taken every six hours for the most severe cases, then monitor the effect and reduce the dosage as needed to keep outbreaks at bay.

There’s no need to sacrifice your quality of life just because you suffer from the herpes virus. Olive leaf extract and d-Lenolate have the potential to restore your joy in life and renew your sense of health and well-being.
