Olive Oil

History & Introduction of Olive Oil

Olive OilFor more than four thousand years, the olive tree has been a symbol of abundance, peace, and longevity. Gifted by a goddess, revered by ancient cultures, and protected by emperors, the olive tree and its precious fruit have played important roles in civilization. Olive oil's mystical glow has been a magical ingredient in religious and spiritual rituals and a therapeutic resource to cure ailments and diseases. It was used to anoint kings (often poured directly on their heads), and it became a "monarch" itself when it became known as the king of all oils.

 

In ancient Greece, athletes ritualistically smeared it all over their bodies before engaging in physical exercise, and winners were crowned with olive branch wreaths. In Rome, gladiators oiled their bodies as they prepared for competition.

 

The ancient Egyptians, who also used olive oil for cosmetics and medicine, believed the olive tree to be a gift from the gods that would bestow beauty, power, and love to its users. Celebrated physician and Father of Medicine Hippocrates recommended the use of olive oil for curing ulcers, cholera, and muscular pain.

 

Olive Oil has been called Liquid Gold due to its various therapeutic uses and ever growing benefits for maintaining fitness, health and beauty.

 

Olive Oil is used to soften the skin in eczema and psoriasis, and in massage, and used to prevent stretch marks; therefore, it is employed in the preparation of soaps, ointments, and liniments.
