It is used for creating appetite, strengthening the stomach, eliminating phlegm; as a meat preservative, hair conditioner, eye salve and mouthwash. It is extremely beneficial in the morning in warm water and is also a Sunnah.

Olive oil:
Excellent treatment for skin and hair, delays old age, and treats inflammation of the stomach.

Mushroom:
The Prophet (Sal Allaho Alaiyhe Wa Sallam) said that mushroom is a good cure for the eyes, it also serves as a form of birth control and arrests paralysis.

Grapes:
