Why not treat with olive oil? Is mineral oil better than it's own "blood"?

I think olive oil and general cooking oils can become rancid. I don't take the chance.

mineral oil works just fine and much cheaper. all these honing oils are basically the same thing and for some brands,all it is is mineral oil.

I have no experience with a body oil, but found that "Dawn" on a moistened sponge cleaned up olive oil spills very nicely. You can also try some denatured alcohol. ???? Good luck.

I use peanut oil...only because oliveoil is so expensive...cant imagine why you couldn't use oliveoil. I drain it thru coffee filters and put it back in bottle for air tight seal till next time use. olive oil does smell gamey after a few uses so maybe that's why.

It is good to use as an oil treatment, however, it does not work for everyone. You have to try it and see.

I have always used mineral oil for food surfaces like cutting boards. Not tung oil. I use tung oil for furniture and for stocks.

There was some sort of lacquer on my utensils that wasn't fully washed off, so I had to sand it. Olive oil is just as good, especially if you use them often enough - if you leave them for long periods of time (weeks to months without use) olive oil may get moldy.

I am not a doctor, researcher, or traditionalist. I did read up on your request and there is more information than this space will allow. I suggest you read @ http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/in-the-zone/201204/what-are-the-real-differences-between-epa-and-dha, there is alot of info there. Basically the body needs both of these elements. Happy health!

I concur with the previous two responders. If you are interested in the health benefits of coconut oil, you need to look at unrefined organic extra virgin olive oil.

Not really, my hubby uses a sprits type bottle to put oil in his hair. I never tried it for olive oil but I imagine itd work. The problem is u'd have less control over where the oil goes and how evenly it is distributed than with an aerosol can.

I haven't used Frankencense oil for back pain. If you want to try it, mix with a little olive oil.

I think most of these products are just mineral oil packaged in different ways, with different names. In fact, if you can find plain mineral oil in a local store it will be much cheaper. As long as the main ingredient is mineral oil, and it is food safe, I think you are fine.

Save a LOT of money and simply use common "mineral oil" which can be purchased from almost any drugstore or supermarket. The only "mystery" in Mystery Oil is how they get people to pay that much money believing they're buying some super, fantastic product. I've been making professional cutting boards and chopping blocks for many years. I recommend to everyone that they use only mineral oil, and use it at the first signs of your board drying out. Be generous with the oil; let it sit for several minutes; then wipe off the excess. NEVER use any vegetable oil, olive oil, or other extracts. These other oils will become rancid over time. Plain ol' mineral oil is cheap, and will not turn rancid. And never soak your wood cutting board in water, or place in the dishwasher. Wiping with a damp rag is usually all that is needed to clean it. If you cut any meats or other animal products, clean thoroughly with a soapy rag. After wiping with a soapy product, it's usually a good idea to give your board a quick swipe of mineral oil.

Yes, I do find a difference using the olive oil particularly during the winter months as it does help in retaining moisture for all over skin. I've not used it over a summer as this is the first summer to try it.

I treated with the mineral oil and began using the following day. I've treated it a fre times over the last year and have used it within a few hours on occasion.
