CONSTIPATION<\/strong><\/p>\nTake 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the morning on an empty stomach.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>If you wish, you can improve the flavour with a few drops of lemon juice. If you have more serious constipation, you can make a mixture of olive oil (1 teaspoon) and warm water (another teaspoon), and apply it as an enema.<\/p>\n EAR WAX REMOVAL<\/strong><\/p>\n To remove ear wax,\u00a0drop two drops of olive oil<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>in your ear when you go to bed. Then cover it with a cotton ball. The next day, put a few drops\u00a0of\u00a0warm\u00a0water in your ear with the help of a droper to remove earwax painlessly.<\/p>\n GINGIVITIS<\/strong><\/p>\n If gingivitis is left untreated it can lead to more serious gum issues and ultimately, tooth and bone loss.

This is another simple way to make your skin look perfect, healthy and tender to touch.<\/p>\n SUNSCREEN<\/strong><\/p>\n Mix equal amounts of olive oil and tea decoction (tea boiled in water and strained). Apply this mixture all over your body and face. Let it sit there for about an hour, and then rinse it off (don\u2019t wash), so as to leave a residue on your skin. This will work as a natural sunscreen.<\/p>\n STRETCH MARK REMEDY<\/strong><\/p>\n Olive oil helps in regeneration of skin and increasing elasticity of the skin as well.<\/p>\n How to use:<\/u> Massage olive oil over the affected areas at least three times a week to improve the elasticity of the skin and its regenerative abilities, which will help heal the affected skin. This will not only prevent formation of new stretch marks, but will also work to reduce and lighten the existing ones slightly.<\/p>\n HAIR TREATMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n Simply massage slightly warmed up olive oil on your hair. Allow it to sit on your tresses for about an hour, then shampoo and condition as you normally do. If after shampoo your hair still feels oily, you may need to do shampoo twice to get rid of greasiness. Your hair will look and feel healthier and shiny after this olive oil hair treatment.<\/p>\n BRITTLE WEAK NAILS<\/strong><\/p>\n Give a warm olive oil bath to your nails.
