What the science says: olive oil and olive leaf

What published research says about the remedies mentioned above, for context only — the studies address material causes, while healing belongs to Allah.

Olive oil and olive leaf

"Eat olive oil and anoint yourselves with it": a 2022 meta-analysis links olive oil consumption to a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and mortality (Clin Nutr, 2022). Olive leaf, for its part, has shown an effect on blood pressure and metabolic profile in prehypertensive individuals (PeerJ, 2021) (Phytomedicine, 2011). Precaution: olive leaf extract potentiates antihypertensive medications — monitor your blood pressure and talk to your doctor.
