Some great info from Melissa Fresh Start Health on Coconut Oil; Coconut Oil In the kitchen * Use it any time you would use oil for cooking - baking, frying, stir frying, roasting ... It is the only oil that doesnt turn toxic when heated and it has a really low melting point. A little goes a long way and no, it doesnt leave everything with an overpowering taste of coconut. * When it is solid you can use it in place of butter * Add it to smoothies - just nothing super cold or with ice as it will solidify and go clumpy * Eat it off the spoon In the bathroom * Put a tablespoonful in your mouth whilst youre in the shower and swish it around like you would mouthwash. Its brilliant for drawing out toxins and helps to improve dental and gum health. When youve finished, spit it out in to a tissue and in to the bin. Its still an oil so you dont want it down your toilet or drain. And you dont want to swallow it on this occasion either as its full of toxins by then. This process is called oil pulling * Rub a little in your hands and apply to your face and eyes as a makeup remover. Put a muslin cloth under hot water, wring out then place over your face and remove the oil and makeup * Apply the oil to your face and body as a moisturiser * Rub a small amount in to your hair, leave over night and wash as normal in the morning for a fantastic conditioner * Massage a small amount in to scalp for relief from dandruff, dry, itchy scalp, psoriaris and eczma. In the first aid box * Apply to bites, stings, burns, scarring I could go on as there is so much more but lets just summarise with the fact its a bit of a wonder food/product that is really worth while integrating in to your diet and lifestyle The Health Benefits of Coconut Oil include: hair care skin care stress relief cholesterol level maintenance weight loss boosted immune system proper digestion regulated metabolism relief from kidney problems, heart diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes, HIV, and cancer helps to improve dental quality and bone strength Most of these can be attributed to the presence of lauric acid, capric acid and caprylic acid, and their respective properties, such as antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-fungal, antibacterial and soothing qualities.
