The olive tree (Olea europea) is one of the oil family and is one of the oldest crops of our cultural history. The olive tree likes it sunny and warm and can survive with very little water from well. She is an evergreen tree that grows very gnarled and branched and has narrow, elongated, silver green leaves.
Her healing powers have a regenerating effect, lowers blood pressure, promotes digestion and is used for skin problems as oil, cream or lotion.
