Usos alternativos del aceite de oliva: recetas tradicionales para cosmética y uso medicinal

Abstract

[ES]El Aceite de oliva se empezó a producir en la cuenca mediterránea, aunque se considera que el olivo ha estado presente en nuestro planeta desde antes de la existencia del ser humano; incluso en algunas civilizaciones del Medio Oriente se ha considerado como un cultivo sagrado. Durante muchas generaciones tanto hojas como fruto y aceite de olivo fueron utilizados para la elaboración de remedios caseros para la salud y cosmética; con el paso de los años y la industrialización de las recetas tradicionales se perdieron paulatinamente. Durante esta investigación se buscó recuperar algunas recetas tradicionales y recopilarlas en un recetario accesible para todo público, para así favorecer su difusión.
