Coconut oil is all the rage at the moment – and for some very good reasons. Back in the eighties and nineties were were all “sold” on the idea of how wonderful margarine was – however in recent years more and more negative press has surfaced about hydrogenated fats and the highly processed oils often found in margarines – together with some very positive scientific discoveries about coconut oil and other natural oils and fats.
Coconut oil is one of the most versatile natural products around and has some incredible properties. I use it for cooking, eating raw (try it on toast instead of butter or oil!) and for skin care – however even as a true coconut fanatic, I was not aware of many of the other possibilities for coconut oil.
It’s regarded as important to obtain the highest quality coconut oil you can. As with many of the other oils on the market, there is a huge difference in quality and benefits between the most natural, untreated, unheated products and the mass-processed kind, which often have most of the nutrition processed right out of them. It’s a good idea for your health to invest a little time into study of what actually goes on in food manufacture; the various processes, and the effects they have on the nutritional qualities of the food. The processing of oils is often done in order to change the color and shelf life of the end product and for other reasons that may degrade the actual nutritional quality of the product in preference of factors that maximize profits.
A great brand is Dr. Bronner’s, which is Organic and Fair Trade: Check out the string of 5-star rave reviews it gets on Amazon (some valuable extra info in there too!)

Virgin coconut oil removes make up easily and even moisturizes your face in the process.
I stuck with it and my skin is getting better every single day.
Even when breakout, you won’t get so much serious than many other people do.
Pets-rashes insect bites ect. I adopted my dog from the pound. A little poodle who was so matted that the vet groomer had to razer cut his fur off n one piece mind you n he lost a pond in a half after his hair cut. Because of this he got razor burned n was rubbing some tender parts on the sidewalk. Put this on him and it healed in a day n stopped him from itching.
love to find more ways to use extra virgin coconut oil
I have used it as a facial mousturizer. I cook everything with it. I have used it in tea and coffee. I have used it on burns. It has also helped me take off 61 pounds

I love this information and all additional comments. I have been Oil Pulling/Swishing (with Coconut Oil) for over a year and I absolutely love it! Thanks for this page and information 🙂 X
I use it on my patients to tret constipation. 1-4tbsp per day would do it.
I used it to massage my two year old granddaughter’s tooth since she started crying out for toothache.Massaging the gums and tooth with a soaked cotton ball containing coconut oil has stopped the toothache and is aiding her gums to make that transition into her natural tooth later on.
I cook with coconut oil. Also can bought in most health food or Herb Shops. 🙂
