If there can be any question regarding the statement that "All foods
are medicine and all medicines are food," there is certainly no question
that olives and olive oil are both food and medicine. Olive oil provides the
purest fat obtainable and in it bacteria cannot live. Those who recognizes its
wonderful medicinal properties and the many uses to which it can be put will
never fail to keep a bottle of pure olive oil in the house. One cannot be made
acquainted with olive oil too young. In olive growing countries many children,
as soon as born, are anointed with olive oil. This provides a far safer
cleanser for infants delicate skin than soap and water and they have been known
to thus gain weight prior to food of any kind being administered by the mouth.
It also provides for them the best possible preventative for constipation where
dairy milk is given. It is far preferable also to dusting powder to prevent
chafing after the bath.
For adults also it is far superior to the nauseating cod-liver oil; or when
emulsified with malt extract (Olivhonie) to the much advertised cod-liver oil
and malt. Dr. A.B. Olsen says, "A very wholesome preparation for those who
are in decline or lacking in flesh, is olive oil combined with barley malt“.
Unlike mineral oils, such as refined paraffin, that are merely mechanical in
action, pure olive oil mixes with other foods and assists their digestion and
the natural disposal of waste matter.
A spoonful of olive oil sipped by speakers who suffer with throat troubles
will be found very beneficial.
For gastric catarrh and like digestive troubles, olive oil will be found of
great service: use 1 tablespoonful of olive oil and 1 of honey in a glass of
hot water 2 daily.
To most it is highly palatable taken by itself, but for those who find it
otherwise, it can be taken with orange, lemon or grape juice.
There is nothing like it for coughs, colds and sore throats - a teaspoonful
kept in the mouth as long as possible becomes thoroughly emulsified, and is
easily assimilated by the weakest digestions.
Swimmers have found it excellent for keeping out the cold, when their
bodies have first been well rubbed with it. It is quickly absorbed by the skin,
and if rubbed over the body it is said to have the power of sustaining life for
long periods, even when no food is taken by the stomach.
The journal of the American Medical Association, quoting from Dr. Paget in
The Lancet, states that "Splendid results are derived in treatment of
typhoid fever by slowly administering every twelve or fifteen hours an enema of
a pint of olive oil. The daily administration is discontinued after one week,
and then may be given only when the temperature is elevated, or the bowels
constipated. If diarrhoea is present olive oil should always be given“. He
claims that the death rate under this treatment is nil. These are but a few of
the many uses pure olive oil can be put to, for it is not only the finest fresh
former known, but also the most easily digested. In addition it has many uses
for external purposes.
Lord Walsingham wrote in the daily press, "A few drops rubbed on a
wasp sting will immediately stop the burning sensation and prevent swelling. I
have tried it with invariable success, notably in the case of a keeper in an almost
fainting condition, with some thirty stings in the back of the neck. All other
remedies I have tried are distinctly inferior to olive oil“.
For burns, sores, cuts, scratches, sore feet, chapped hands, rough, broken
or sunburnt skins an application of olive oil will have a wonderful healing
effect. Sufferers from earache find a few drops of warm olive oil work
wonders.
Amateur gardeners, of both sexes, find a spot or two of olive oil rubbed in
to the hands smooth and white, while dirt and grime will be much more readily
removed. The same treatment for rough hands will soon render them smooth and of
presentable appearance.
Rubbed into the scalp the day previous to the hair being shampooed will produce
growth and silkiness. Rubbed well into the skin prior to sunbathing will
prevent burns and blisters. The rubbing of olive oil into the back and chest of
a delicate child will do much to ensure robust health and fitness.
The valuable medicinal and curative virtues of the olive were first
impressed on the writer by Dr. George Black, the homoeopathic doctor of
Torquay, who was well-known in most parts of England.
Apart from all other considerations, foods should be presented in an
attractive form if the best results are to be secured.
History of oliveoil dates back for at least 4.000 years. Many of the olive
trees that existed in Palestine in the time of the Christ are said to be alive
to-day. In Italy one is shown olive trees two thousand years old. Many of the peasants in the olive
growing districts, within fifty miles of the Mediterranean, who subsist largely
on olives, olive oil and other fruit, have wonderfully healthy appearance.
There is no form of fat more easy of assimilation and digestion. Its healing
and health giving qualities are beyond compare.
In pressing the virgin oil from the olive no chemicals are used and no heat
is applied. It will keep without preservatives and it is a perfectly natural
food in which no germs can live. In Spain a meal is usually commenced with
green olives, whilst olives served in different forms may appear many times on
the same menu. The ripe black olives, as offered in Health Food Stores and high
class Italian warehouses in England, are either original or salted. They should
be soaked to restore them to their original size and softness, and to remove
any excess of salt. Ripe black olives can also be obtained in olive oil, ready
to serve. These are very delicious in garnishing salads, and they are eaten
with many other foods as well.
Olive oil, lemon juice and honey, well mixed, provide a perfect salad
dressing. A little mustard and salt can be added if desired. Owing to its easy
assimilation and high nutritive value, olive oil is one of the finest flesh
producers known. To most it is highly palatable taken by itself, but for those
who do not like it neat it can be taken with orange, lime or grape juice. In
fact, it may be truly said: "the virtues of the finest olive oil are
beyond compare“. The olive not only works wonders as a food, but as a medicine
also. This aspect may be considered in another issue of this journal. Those who
cannot digest olive oil or dislike it intensely can derive great benefit by
rubbing olive oil into the whole of the body, to be absorbed by the skin. In
the way it does not upset the digestion. It is invaluable for grown-ups and
babies. It greatly improves skin action, the texture of the skin, protects
against chills and colds and is of course as nutritive „As if it was taken by the mouth. I have proved this
in practice in numerous cases.
