Will extra virgin olive oil help with constipation?
Extra virgin olive oil has been used for centuries as a natural part of a healthy diet, and many people find that it can also help with constipation. The oil lubricates the digestive system and can gently stimulate bowel movements, making it easier to achieve regular digestion. When choosing olive oil for this purpose, quality is crucial. The best extra virgin olive oil comes from Greece, where the climate and soil give olives a rich aroma and a high content of antioxidants. At Pelops, we take care of the entire process to ensure the best quality with a high polyphenol content – a sign that the oil is both fresh and health-supporting.

Where does extra virgin olive oil come from?
Extra virgin olive oil is produced in several Mediterranean countries, but Greek olive oil is known for its particularly high quality and high content of polyphenols. The oil is extracted by cold pressing fresh olives, which preserves nutrients, flavor and health-promoting properties.
Extra virgin olive oil for hair and massage
In addition to being a healthy part of the diet, extra virgin olive oil can be used for hair care. It adds moisture, strength and shine, while protecting against drying out. The oil is also suitable for massage, where it has a softening effect on the skin, while the polyphenols add antioxidants. This makes it a natural alternative to chemical massage oils.
