Olivier - Piloselle

Did you know it ?

For several centuries, the olive tree has been known for its medicinal virtues. It was used to preserve the cardiovascular balance thanks to its two essential properties: the reduction of the volume of circulating liquid and the relaxation of the walls of the blood vessels. Piloselle, on the other hand, was used in the Middle Ages to predict the healing or death of the sick. It was used to promote the healing of wounds and to fortify sight due to a popular belief that falcons drank its juice in order to strengthen their eyesight. Piloselle was also used to facilitate sweating during periods of fever.
