Coconut Oil - What does it do for you?
#1 Rule - Make sure to choose organic, virgin coconut oil… Never use Refined Coconut Oil
- Great to smooth dry skin - apply directly to your skin ....... Heels - Chapped lips - dry areas - scalp
- Great when used in a conditioner - puts natural oils back into your hair - Helps prevent frizzing in dry hair
- Great make-up remover - all natural
- Effective as a screen, blocking about 20% of the sun’s ultraviolet rays
- Use as a mouthwash - coconut oil can kill some of the harmful bacteria in the mouth, improve dental health and reduce bad breath
- The triglycerides in coconut oil have been shown to increase 24 hour energy expenditure by as much as 5%, potentially leading to significant weight loss over the long term
- The fatty acids and breakdown products in coconut oil can help to prevent infections
- Coconut oil can significantly reduce your appetite
- Coconut oil improves important risk factors like Total, LDL and HDL cholesterol
I found this great hair conditioner treatment online....it is amazing how great your hair feels after the treatment. Give it a try!
Hair Conditioner

1/2 Banana
Blend until smooth - then apply to hair from roots to ends. Put on a shower cap and wait 15 minutes. Then shampoo and condition.
Love this post! I have a huge tub of it around here. Cold pressed and unrefined. I use it to put on my son's eczema...or to dilute oils...and chap-stick even!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great one for conditioning. Love Coconut oil for so many things.
ReplyDeleteI use coconut oil all the time! It is so very good for you! Thanks for this info!
ReplyDeleteI was just trying to figure out how to add coconut oil to my diet. I use it as diaper cream for my daughter, since we use cloth diapers, but wasn't sure about using it in diet.
ReplyDeleteI know people who swear by using it but I've never tried it (other than cooking with it). I might have to try some of the uses you suggest.
ReplyDeleteI also love coconut oil and have a bar of soap of it! I never thought of making my own hair condition, but it sounds interesting .. I would also want to eat it! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI haven't used coconut oil yet, but I've heard so many good things about it that I will have to pick some up.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try using this!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds wonderful, and I'll bet it smells great, too!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of using it as a mouthwash... really? How cool... thanks so much
ReplyDeleteI love my coconut oil!! Just make sure that if you use it in your hair and then rinse in the shower that you rinse your shower well! I almost killed my hubby - the shower was so slick after I had rinsed my hair and I didn't know it! Thank goodness he didn't fall!!

ReplyDeleteI love coconut oil. I grew up originally in the Caribbean where coconut oil is a staple there. It's pretty good for a lot of things. Will have to try out that hair conditioner.
