How to use Olive Oil
Extra-virgin olive oil is simple, clean, and versatile. You can take it by the spoon, stir it into food, or use it on the skin. For Ruqyah, many readers recite Qur’an over the oil, then use small amounts with steadiness and respect. Keep quality high and your routine light.

We are preparing a short, step by step video guide showing how to use it
How to choose quality
- Choose extra-virgin olive oil, cold pressed, with harvest season on the label.
- Prefer dark glass bottles and tight caps to protect from light and air.
- Fresh oil smells grassy, peppery, and clean. Avoid flat or waxy aromas.
- Single-origin or single-estate oils help with traceability.
Quick check. Sip a few drops. A gentle bitterness and a peppery throat tickle signal fresh polyphenols.
Internal use
Start small, keep steady.
- Daily amount. 1 to 2 teaspoons, 5 to 10 millilitres.
- Timing. Morning before breakfast or evening 1 to 2 hours after dinner.
- Ways to take. Straight from the spoon, or stirred into warm water with lemon, or mixed with 1 teaspoon honey.
- Cycle. Use daily for 6 to 8 weeks, pause 1 to 2 weeks, then review.
Topical use and massage
Patch test first on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours.
- Massage a thin layer on the chest, temples, and neck before sleep.
- For joints or dry areas, warm a teaspoon in clean hands and apply on damp skin.
- For scalp, massage 1 to 2 teaspoons, leave 30 to 45 minutes, then wash.
Ruqyah method with olive oil
Use a small, clean bottle. Sit calmly and keep the routine modest.
- Recite Al-Fatiha, Ayatul Kursi, and the last two surahs. You may add verses you know and rely on.
- Blow lightly into the bottle after each recitation. Keep the mouth a short distance away.
- Seal the bottle and say a simple dua for protection and ease.
- Use a few drops on the chest and temples before sleep. You may also take 1 teaspoon orally if suitable for you.
- Repeat daily, preferably after Fajr or before sleep.
Keep amounts small. Consistency matters more than high volume.
Simple pairings
- Honey. 1 teaspoon honey with 1 teaspoon olive oil, stirred well.
- Black seed oil. Take separately in the day, small amounts only.
- Warm water and lemon. A gentle morning tonic.
- Food. Drizzle over salads, soups after cooking, and grain bowls.
Safety and interactions
- Olive oil is a food, yet individual reactions differ. Stop if you feel unwell.
- If you have gallbladder issues, reflux, or are on a strict fat-controlled diet, seek clinical advice first.
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding. Ask your clinician if you plan daily oral amounts beyond normal cooking use.
- For skin, avoid broken areas and eyes. Patch test new routines.
Storage and shelf life
- Store in a cool cupboard, 14 to 18°C, away from the cooker.
- Keep the cap tight. Oxygen spoils flavour and aroma.
- Use within 3 to 6 months after opening for best taste.
- If the oil smells stale or tastes flat, replace it.
