Want smoother skin, nicely polished steel, or a quick earache remedy? Plenty of products are available designed specifically to tackle the tasks at hand, but if you're in a pinch, try olive oil.

According to Health.com, the ubiquitous kitchen ingredient can fill any of those needs with aplomb, for example:
Warm olive oil can soothe your child's (or your) achy ear, says Rachel Lewis, MD, a pediatrician at Columbia University Medical Center. (Note: Only for kids 2 and up.) Use a syringe to place 2 to 4 drops of warm oil in ear (5 to 10 in your own). Follow up with doctor.
Every kitchen worth its salt has a bottle of olive oil on hand, and while you could maybe find a better tool for any of the jobs Health.com recommends, olive oil is a nice fallback for those times you need a quick home remedy right now. While you're stretching your olive oil, we've already shown you how to wash off paint with olive oil. And if you're interested in using it for—*gasp*—food purposes, check out how to create a quick infused olive oil before dinner.
