various diseases, such as bronchitis, flu, high blood pressure, kidney stones

The peels from the peeled lemons are put in a jar and covered with
olive oil to the top of the jar. The jar should tightly closed and left to stand

After two weeks, the mixture is put on a gauze or cloth and placed

place the coating and to lay still for 3 to 4 hours.

Other benefits of using olive oil:
1. Weight loss secret weapon
Twenty litres of extra virgin olive oil every year and most
Mediterraneans still aren’t fat. According to Leandro Ravetti, Chief Oil Maker
of the award-winning Cobram Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oils, a diet rich in
extra virgin olive oil may deliver greater and longer lasting weight loss
results than a low-fat diet.
2. Diabetes deterrent
Eating extra virgin olive oil as part of a balanced diet may help
prevent or delay the onset of diabetes. Ravetti says extra virgin helps
“regulate and balance our insulin levels, so you’re not really having those
spikes.”
3. Pain relief
Extra virgin olive oil contains a substance called oleocanthal,
which has anti-inflammatory agents, meaning olive oil is like a natural
Ibuprofen. Research increasingly suggests inflammation impacts a number of
chronic diseases, so olive oil’s anti-inflammatory properties grow more
compelling all the time.
