🌿 JUNE RITUAL — GREECE
Olive Oil Ritual
✨ Who Used It
For centuries, women throughout ancient Greece and the Mediterranean used olive oil as a sacred part of their beauty rituals.
Often called "liquid gold," olive oil was treasured for its nourishing, protective, and beautifying properties. Greek women applied it to their skin, hair, and nails to maintain softness, radiance, and vitality. It was commonly infused with herbs and botanicals and used in daily cleansing and moisturizing rituals.
More than beauty, olive oil symbolized abundance, wellness, and harmony with nature in Greek culture.
