The topic oil application shocked me as it is one of the main ayurvedic procedures for prevention and treatment of diseases. One of the most common variation is called abhyangha, which is a massage using oils. But for ayurveda, better than olive oil is sesame seed oil.
Why would olive oil work topically but not when ingested? We have an olive farm in Italy between Rome and Naples on the coast and use the oil in cooking. It is organic but will definitely use on my very sore knees. Thank you. Happy thanks giving. I am very thankful for Dr. Greger.
Better than placebo is very much better than nothing. The placebo effect is a real effect with costs and benefits. In the same way, zero is not nothing, it is a very useful part of mathematics that only stands as a placeholder for nothing.
this does remind me of something: the oldest woman to have ever lived, Jeanne Calment, claimed she put olive oil on her skin every day. maybe that was a part of why she lived so long.
I had a girlfriend that would scrub her whole body with a loofa pad then rub a good quality extra virgin olive oil all over. She was already healthy so not sure what it did for her other than having the softest skin I’ve ever felt!

Maybe the Grapeseed and Olive Oil concoction was somewhat effective, since the Low-Bioavailable Oil-Soluble Resveratrol in the Grapeseeds went into Solution. Also, maybe an olfactory factor? Just a thought.
Maybe topical olive oil "works", simply because it stays soluble longer than the study alternatives, therefore facilitating more localized rubbing/massage, therefore giving more relief. Just a thought.
Olives from the tree are inedible and quite toxic even, i live in the Mediterranean Sea surrounded by olive trees, i like olive oil but i don´t think it´s that healthy as many people claim
I know how quickly olive oil goes rancid and I keep a small bottle knowing that until now it added to the taste of bruschetta but added nothing to the nutritional value of food except ok a teaspoon in carrot soup ... yes I have osteoarthitis in my knees; 65, early riser, as is my dog and we get in about 45 min to an hour when we wake up as long as the roads aren't treacherous ... live in Canada. Great experiment! Will apply on knees and see what happens. Currently I I use an icepack after our a,m. walk this sounds interesting. (We add additional shorter jaunts am lucky work from home in a pleasant building abutting a park_). Tx to Dr Pangloss in Voltaire's Candide ... but more reason against all the evidence of humans' lack of responsible stewardship over the planet we think we own, you can't be clinically depressed and accomplish much so if the glass is half full it's a great start.
Olive oil lays like an oil slick on the skin though. Coconut oil is so much more pleasant because it absorbs into the skin and doesn't leave a greasy mess behind. Everyone in pain should get right on this though. Start rubbing that EVOO into your skin immediately and report back right here.
And also what brands were used in this study? There's so much junk on the market today that it's almost impossible to get REAL EVOO in the US. Go live in Italy for a month and you'll see the difference. There's no comparison really. If you get it imported from Italy (Spain, etc) that might work.
Topical use of olive oil for arthritis pain relief, who knew? I wonder if it was the rubbing that one does when applying the olive oil or the oil itself.
Это очень просто. Основная причина артрита - грибки, они обожают масла, а ещё больше жиры, вот и вылезают в компресс из масла. На этом же принципе основано полоскание рта маслом по утрам.
@@strahinjamacesic3974 Gerson created a diet against cancer. He noticed that the cancer was growing from all fats and oils except linseed. Cancer is the same fungus.
Yeah, no. I don't buy it. Also, this is not how science works. One weird study result (which is what we have here) is not enough to demonstrate anything.
So what can I cook with? Dr gregor says no butter, no lard, no olive oil, no coconut oil, no vegetable oils…. Is there anything healthy to cook food with?
It's interesting that 105 year old longevity expert Dr. Shigeaki Hinohara said he has a glass of milk with one tablespoon of olive oil everyday for smooth skin and smooth arteries. Do you think he did it for the Sphingolipids and the Oleocanthal?
@@lloydchristmas4547 The evidence is that the Japan school lunch system serves milk every day with every meal. Japan is the country with the highest egg rate consumption, the highest life expectancy, a low cancer rate and one of the lowest obesity rates in the world. People have been using and consuming olive oil for thousands of years. It is fruit oil, just be careful and buy a good quality in a dark green glass bottle with an expiration date of at least 1 year ahead of when you use it.

I lost all symptoms of arthritis when I switched to whole food plant exclusive.
Please can you tell me more about your plant diet? Thank you
@@elenafaith7813 google dr. Mark Hyman the pegan diet. And also helped my arthritis.
@@Lonnieb1956 Thank you very much!!!

That’s great what arthitis do you have do you eat night shades? And how long did it take

Thanks Dr Greger! Another good case for berries. But if you're making a salve, looks like EVOO is a good choice for the carrier oil! 😀
Thank you so much for all your dedicated work! God bless you!

I was thinking that a poultice made from ground up olives would work even better.

Gotta love a nutritional plot twist...thanks for doing the research and posting!
I use coconut oil on my skin in the summer and almond oil
I get significant improvement from aronia berries for my arthitis in the spine. A study has shown that cyanidins are effective for arthritis.
this does remind me of something: the oldest woman to have ever lived, Jeanne Calment, claimed she put olive oil on her skin every day. maybe that was a part of why she lived so long.
Thank you very much for sharing this info! 😃

Wasn't expecting that at all, 👍.
Another awesome study by our awesome Dr. Greger & team🙏🏼❤️Thank you & much love to you all💚💜💖🌱🌏🙏🏼✨
🙏🙏 за русские субтитры 🌞🌞
oh?? I will that to give this a try!
Interesting research. Very good for the skin as well.
Thanks Dr Greger and Happy Thanksgiving!
@Sugarplum K • Right, and we’ll smell yummy too!
didn’t you say evoo was inflammatory in a previous example?
Wow! I don't use any oil any longer but I recently found some EVOO in a bottom cabinet. I'm going to do some experimenting.
Throw away the old oil and get a small bottle of new oil so it's not rancid best wishes best health
You're pretty gullible...
@@Melomathics You don't know me. I said I'd experiment (try) it. I didn't say I believed it. There's a big difference Mr. Intelligent.
@@richlinlaw Couldn’t you smell whether or not it’s rancid?
Nice. Love this

As you age, your skin's immune system degrades. Applying oil topically can help protect you from pathogens.
Holy moly! I’m getting some evoo today! Maybe I’ll take a bath in it too.

Cool!
Are you talking about using it exogenously/ massage and compare it to intake of pills( ibuprofen)????
Olives from the tree are inedible and quite toxic even, i live in the Mediterranean Sea surrounded by olive trees, i like olive oil but i don´t think it´s that healthy as many people claim
It's because there's little to no evidence that olive oil is healthy.
I started taking 5 mg of boron daily to help with my arthritis. Worked awesome.
I love this channel!
Unsalted olives (fermented olives) tastes good. Hard to find though. We have some here.
olive massage oil 🙏🏾

It adds taste.
Hello i am french , what is "Topical" for the oil?
It means using it like a cream on the spot where you want it to do it's job.
Topical means using on your skin and rub into affected area.
@@dissonantstyle oh okay thanks i see!
En application sur la peau.
Please Dr.Greger do some videos about Covid vaccines! We need the objective information!

Eat olive and use its oil, for indeed it is a blessed tree.
Love the cartoon doctor! 🤣
Do people actually take EVOO thinking it will help their arthritis? Thought the whole purpose of EVOO is to improve heart health?
What is Topical Olive Oil? And then you mention 1/4 of a teaspoon olive oil a Day -- is that normal extra Virgin olive oil?
Topical means applied to the skin, not eaten
Why not just soak olives in water to extract the salt ?
Take a minute to think about it, I'm sure you'll figure out why.
Olive oil lays like an oil slick on the skin though. Coconut oil is so much more pleasant because it absorbs into the skin and doesn't leave a greasy mess behind. Everyone in pain should get right on this though. Start rubbing that EVOO into your skin immediately and report back right here.

@Chilapa Yeah but it doesn't lay there for a long time and feel like your skin can't breathe.
Massage is helpful for improving muscle and ligament soreness.

No way! 😊
