Our Grannies knew a thing or two about cures when there was nothing
else available. Almond oil is a great carrier for other oils that are
too strong to use by themselves i.e. lavender oil.

I can remember a very small onion, like a cocktail onion, being boiled
and the very small kernel in the centre being put into my ear for
earache - I have never heard that from anyone else so I don't know if
that was just Granny's solution or if others used it.

When I was in Sicily, I was told that on the wedding night a couple
would have a small bottle of olive oil placed on the table next to the
bed. I don't know if it was extra-virgin olive oil. Well, you did ask
for other uses for olive oil.

I know Italian men like their food but surely they don't expect a salad on
their wedding night! ;-
