Can you put extra virgin olive oil in your eyes?
Sadly, I am an expert. lol. When I have had conjunctivitus (5 times or so in my lifetime) I have always taken a q-tip (separate q-top for each eye) and gone around the rim of my eyelid with a dab of olive oil (preferabley with a little bit of argan oil mixed in) because it helps with the inflammation very much.. When you do this, you can also bring the qtip to the corner of your eyes where most of the secretions would be coming out normally. Your vision will look blurry but that's normal. It does help a lot!
Another thing I do is make sure to take Cod Liver oil capsules (great for eye health and immune support) supplement + Vitamin D3 (immune support), and if you have it Licopene supplement (or tomato paste orally). Other things that help with this are rinsing your eyes half closed in the shower every day after waking, cold compresses and changing your pillow case (and only sleeping on your back). Continuously wash your hands and be careful not to touch your eyes. Use fresh makeup applicator with each application of makeup (seperate applicators for both eyes as well) if you must wear makeup. Allergy Eyedrops are okay but will burn if you apply them directly after the olive oil...Best to wait a little while before doing so. I have found that eating a little! bit of sage, or drinking sage tea, a little while before bed can help with the redness in your eyes because it helps the body use oxygen correctly.

When making biscuits can you use olive oil instead of vegetable oil?
Many would say that there is no substitue for butter, but the act of substituting olive oil for vegetable oil will indeed make a biscuit. It will, however, alter the flavor. I find in baking, olive oil is not only much healthier, but it also makes the flavor of the rest of the ingredients more vivid. I would suggest using olive oil rather than vegetable oil whenever possible.
How many tablespoon of olive oil everyday?
One tablespoon of Olive Oil is more then enough on a daily basis.
No, olive oil isn't an essential oil for one main reason.
Essential oils are the essence of fragrant herbs or plants. To create an essential oil, steam is pumped into a chamber containing the plant, and the minute amounts of essential oils (the main fragrance and medicinal compounds) are captured by the steam. Then the steam flows into a condensing chamber, and the oil and water is condensed into liquid and then separated. It takes a lot of plant material to create even one ounce of pure essential oil. Olive oil is made by pressing the olives to extract their flavor and oil (not as concentrated as essential oil).

Is unrefined olive oil and cold pressed olive oil the same thing?
There are many types of olive oil, each made in a different way. 'Cold-press' olive oils are made with a special chemical-free process that results in higher-quality olive oil with lower acidity. Most virgin olive oils are made with this cold press technique, and so are fruitier and lighter than regular olive oils.
Regular olive oils tend to have a lighter color, less noticeable flavor, and a lower smoking point than cold pressed olive oils. The lack of flavor makes this oil ideal for certain types of baking, where the flavor of olives is undesirable. They are also less expensive, as the chemical processes used to refine this oil are more accessible to manufacturers.

Why is olive oil good for you What are the pros of it?
First, let's start with the cons. It's expensive, often 2 to 3 times the cost of plainer vegetable oils. Second, it has a strong, distinctive flavor. This is terrific in some cases, but used too often or with subtle flavors, it becomes too dominant. Last, it had a low burn/smoke point. This means that it breaks down and burns in frying over longer periods. Great for a quick saute, though.
The benefits are numerous: first, the flavor (when used sparingly) is terrific, and some olive oils have real "personality". Second it's rich in monounsaturated fat, which can lower total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein -- LDL or "bad" -- cholesterol. Virgin and Extra-virgin contain a good amount of polyphenols, which are an anti-oxidants. These purge out unstable molecules called free radicals and reduce harmful cellular inflammation.

What is the difference between olive oil and grape seed oil?
Grape Seed Oil is processed from the seeds of grapes, which are formed as a by-product of wine making. Because each seed yields a small amount of oil, grape seed oil is usually extracted chemically. The chemical extraction does have an impact on the flavor of the oil, but it makes grape seed oil affordable for people who want to purchase it. The oil is known for being light in color and flavor, with a hint of nuttiness. It is a polyunsaturated oil, and contains beneficial compounds such as linoleic acid.
Grape Seed Oil should not be confused with Rape Seed Oil. Rape seed oil is used in industrial settings and can be harmful if used as a food oil. A variant of Rape seed oil that is taken from specially developed cultivars with low erucic acid content in their seed oil is recognized as safe for use as a food grade oil in the US and in the EU. It is usually known as canola oil.

Can you put olive oil on your cutting board after it has been made?
EDIT by Kansas-Kate:
Cooking oils are not a good choice for conditioning butcher blocks and cutting boards. The best choice is a mixture of food-grade mineral oil + beeswax. This can be bought in bottles or tubes; tubes are preferable because the last bit of product can be squeezed out. You can also make your own; search online for DIY instructions.
Note: The mineral oil must be food-grade.
