Introduction:
There are certain remedies that stand the test of time, passed down through generations. One such remedy involves a simple combination of olive oil and orange – a powerful duo that our grandparents swore by. This age-old solution has resurfaced recently due to its surprising ability to tackle a common, yet irritating, problem. Whether it's a skin issue, digestive discomfort, or even seasonal concerns, this natural remedy is making waves for its simplicity and effectiveness. Let’s dive into how olive oil and orange can become your go-to solution for many pesky problems.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
1 fresh orange (juice and peel)
Instructions:
Prepare the Orange: Start by washing the orange thoroughly to remove any residues. Cut it in half, extracting the juice into a small bowl. Grate or peel a small portion of the skin, making sure to avoid the bitter white pith. Set both the juice and zest aside.
Mix the Ingredients: In a separate container, combine the freshly squeezed orange juice with the extra virgin olive oil. Stir well to ensure the two ingredients blend smoothly together.
Application: Depending on the issue you're tackling, apply the mixture accordingly. For skin-related concerns, gently massage the mixture onto the affected area. For digestive support, consume a small amount in the morning, on an empty stomach.
Allow it to Sit: Let the remedy sit for a few minutes, allowing the orange and olive oil’s benefits to be absorbed by the skin or body.
Tips for Serving and Storing:
Serving Tip: For internal use, it’s best to consume the remedy on an empty stomach. If you’re using it for skincare, apply it before bedtime, allowing the oil to nourish your skin overnight.
Storage Tip: This remedy is best used fresh. If you need to store it, keep it in an airtight container in the fridge and use it within a couple of days. Always make sure to stir well before use, as the oil and juice may separate.
