When I look back in time, I can recall that my mother used olive oil when I was little. Up until I was much older, I never gave the purpose of it much thought.
However, I do remember that once, when I had an earache, my mother applied olive oil. I also recall experiencing that earache for a brief while. My ear ache probably did not last more than a few days, if I were to guess. Maybe three days.
As far as my own usage of olive oil is concerned, I have not had any allergic reactions, breakouts, or anything like. I can only speak positively about this.
I will just talk about my experiences using it, my thoughts, and the outcomes. These are as follows:
- I treat my hair with it as a hot oil therapy. To make the olive oil feel nice while I rub it through my hair, I merely make sure it is warm. For as long as I think it is necessary, I leave it in. I then rinse it out and use a leave-in conditioner after that.
- I use it for cooking. I like to cook using olive oil because I think it makes food taste better, especially when it is fried or sautéed. I also enjoy using it in my meat marinade sauces because I think it adds just the right amount of flavor and tenderness to the meats to enhance my dinners.
- I sometimes use it (when my body is still wet) just after my shower. My preference is to apply the olive oil, let it sit for a short while, and then remove it with a cloth. My skin feels softer as a result. In order to prolong the moisturizing effect beyond a few hours, I continue to use a little skin moisturizer afterward.
- Olive oil works well for me when it comes to my fingernails and toenails. It improves the appearance of my nails, which I appreciate. It keeps my fingernails strong, healthy, and glossy while also enhancing their natural appearance.
When it comes to taking care of my skin, nails, and hair, I like to use extra virgin olive oil because it works wonders for my hair, encourages strong nails, and soothes and moisturizes my skin. I cannot just choose to disregard any of these facts.
Now, I cannot guarantee it will work the same for you, you can still give olive oil a try and see how it suits you. This way, you are able to use it however you see fit.
