SO much to love about Olive Oil in this episode. SO much to love and so much to learn! Gargling with sea salt, lemon and honey for when you’re starting to feel a little low. Arak, a liquorice derived alcoholic drink which (GET THIS!) is also used by Palestinians the same way we heard in the Serbia episode. Rubbed. On the skin! I love finding cross-cultural references to the same remedies. It’s such a great reminder that we’re all more connected than we realize!
