Benefits of Olive Oil

Olive oil has so many properties that it is very hard to list all the benefits. It has been used for antibacterial purposes, and often used for earaches and eye infections. It is a great skin and hair moisturizer, and has been applied to skin conditions like excema, ringworm, etc. It's used as a preservative for canned foods like tuna and capers

It's good for hair conditions like alopecia and dandruff. I saw it first hand to lift up dead skin layers, and burns after consistent application.

Adding a little salt to olive oil to form a mild scrub also helps to take out scratches in wood furniture.

There is soooo much more. But definitely a keeper in my pantry. . . and medicine cabinet for that matter.
