Other uses for olive oil
Thinking of the Frances Mayes books, as I was a while ago, I remember her
writing that her husband took a pudding spoon of olive oil every morning, presumably for the benefit of his internal clockwork. And I think it was she who wrote that Italian women used to use it as skin nourishment. Has anyone here any experience of either? I rather like the idea of a much cheaper version of Clarins in my kitchen cupboard! -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ (remove weeds from address) |

I rather like the idea of a much cheaper version of Clarins in my kitchen cupboard! When she's back, I have to hide the extra vierge from my youngest so her face has to content itself with cheap sunflower. I moaned about it to my mother, who said "Ah, yes. My mother used to use olive oil every day." Personally, I think she'd need less oil if she stopped using so much of that damned warpaint, but what do I know? Drifting only slightly, I remember an old butcher pointing out that he had "hands like a girl". Though I found a courteous way of avoiding tactile examination, the muscular extremities he proffered in evidence certainly looked very smooth, and I didn't doubt his explanation that it was because he was handling fat all the time. As to the, ah, aperient qualities, well, it seems rather more pleasant than liquid paraffin, and must do the same job. -- Mike. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

From my research in the late 1980' early 90's, with regard to your comments on olive oil, I believe this is accurate . Omega 3 oils work fom the inside out. Olive oil is not that rich in w3 but is superbly balanced in respect of w3/w6 and therefore should achieve the objective. Kindest regards Dr. Edward Lea |

You never cease to amaze me, Anne. What with the mb and now Maori massages in Camden market. You make me feel positively staid. Seriously though, olive oil is great but as you have found, it is oily:) Almond oil does much the same thing and costs about the same. I used to use it for aromatherapy, although I have only ever been an amateur at that. -- June Hughes |

Sachahttp://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk As I owe you a favour for a shrub, I have 2 x Savon de Marseille of 300 grammes each, which is 72% huile d'olive, I will send them to you on Monday. JudithL at home p.s. I am off to France on 7th February for a few days, does anyone want me to bring any back? If so email me and if you live locally, i.e. Norfolk, I will deliver it free. I see it's available from http://www.moosie.co.uk/soaps/savdemars.asp Damned expensive way to wash one's face, if you ask me, but you didn't. While doing the brief Ggl, I was shocked but not surprised (if that's not an oxymoron) to see that the Body Shop sells something it calls "olive soap" which is actually just ordinary palm oil soap with a trace of olive oil: another reason, apart from the nauseating smell, to avoid the Body Shop. The Nyons soap has a very high percentage of olive oil, can't remember what it is at the mo. Not meaning to cast aspersions on Judith's very nice offer, but the products are not the same! In any case, the savon de Marseille will certainly keep you going for a while. cheers, -E -- Emery Davis You can reply to ecom by removing the well known companies Questions about wine?

Here is one we've used for many years: http://www.coop-du-nyonsais.fr/boutique/autres.php Many thanks for that. You can't imagine how timely it is just now. A friend of ours, who lives in France, came to stay bringing me three bars of the olive oil soap that she knows I love. I'm halfway through the last one! Sacha, Arran Aromatics do an 'Olive Oil' soap, and it's very good. It might be easier to source... http://www.arranaromatics.com/listra...e=APOTH&rangeS ubID=6 Many thanks, Anne. A LOT easier, I should think. It might be interesting to get both and compare, though. What a dangerous life I lead! ;-) -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ (remove weeds from address) |

You're a love to think of it but I've just this minute ordered from the Arran site. Don't send me anything until I've tried these out! ;-)) -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ (remove weeds from address) |

I've ordered the Arran product and once I hear back from France about the Nyonsais shipping costs, I'll order from them, too if it's not too horrific. It will be interesting to make a comparison and certainly, none of it will go to waste! -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ (remove weeds from address) |
