Great piece!

I use olive oil in my food, my hair and skin and while it sounds a bit weird when you 1st think about it, i believe that olives and olive oil is a blessed ingredient with so many different ways. My health improved, my skin look more beautiful and shinny and i lost weight which was my ultimate objective.
After that i started reading more and more about it and i found it very interesting to learn about it’s origin but also it’s contribution to the economies of the olive companies that produce it. I’m sending you a piece as i find it very very interesting.

Hope you find it interesting

I used evoo for aftercare on my tattoo. My artist said it was the number one ingredient in one of the pricey products sold at most shops.

I was just researching home remedies for unplugging clogged ears and guess what came up on various sites? Drop warm olive oil in clogged ears and it will loosen up the wax. I also put a teaspoon in my dog’s food for a shiny coat.

I increased food use, as a substitute for butter as a food. It was amazing how cutting out butter had an effect. I do use it on my skin, as well. Also the use of sea vegetables has been huge.

Olive oil has been a great boon for me. When I stopped using dairy, and switched to olive oil, the debilitating eczema that had plagued me for years dropped away. Following up by cutting out meat except for seafood has allowed me to live a happy life again.

In reply to laurie. My husband's grandmother used to use it on the kids when they had a cold. Would rub it onto their chests like Vicks vaporub.

Readers sent 3 additional uses, man this is the wonder product:

Ancient Romans shinied up with olive oil while at the baths, then get scraped down with iron blades as part of a cleansing, exfoliating and moisturizing.

One guy dips a cotton swab in the stuff and uses it to moisturize his hearing-aid-weary ears.

And a woman swears it’s the trick for removing her kids’ fake tattoes.

Step back from that bottle of EVO, Mario Batali – looks like there;s stiff competition!
