Suggestions for Coconut Oil use
I have to admit that when I started researching coconut oil I did not anticipate quite so MANY ways this can be used other than a healthy cooking
alternative! Here are a few suggestions for you to try. Do a search and you will be amazed at the results, let us know what new ways you find.
Skin Care: Since coconut oil is moisturizing, antimicrobial (a substance that kills or inhibits the growth of microorganisms) antifungal and
anti-inflammatory, it's a great natural remedy for a number of skin problems including acne, eczema and diaper rash! One of the best natural products
you can use on your skin to help healing and restoring skin is coconut oil. Also makes an excellent massage oil.
Cuts, Scrapes and Fungal Infections: Coconut oil can be used for common cuts and scrapes to protect against infection and help the skin to
heal faster. It contains strong antifungal agents and can be used to treat infections like athlete's foot, ringworm and vaginal yeast infections.
Can be used topically and internally.
Hair Conditioner: Massage a thin layer of coconut oil into your scalp and hair, allow it to soak for several minutes and then shampoo as usual.
(with our TheraNeem Shampoos of course!) The coconut oil will help soften your hair. Also an effective method to control dandruff. Suitable for
yound children or babies with cradle cap.
Sun Screen: Coconut oil provides effective and natural sun protection without exposing your body to the toxic chemicals and metals
in conventional sun block products. Coconut oil has antioxidant properties that protects against free radical damage which provides added
protection against skin cancer.
Colds & Sore Throats Coconut oil has antimicrobial properties that can help you recover from a cold or sore throat. Try mixing a
teaspoon of coconut oil with warm tea and honey for a soothing throat remedy. I do this as a daily routine with my green or Tulsi tea now and
really like the added taste and benefit. Also helped cure an upset stomach.
Deodorant: If you are looking for a natural option, you can use coconut oil or lotion as a deodorant. It's suggested that you could also
add baking soda and cornstarch for more advanced odor protection.
Detoxification: There are many methods for detoxifying the body, but coconut oil is unique because it can provide energy while cleansing the
body. One popular method is to take 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil seven times a per day for one to seven days to cleanse the body from toxins,
impurities and candida.
Make-up Remover: Coconut oil is an effective make-up remover and a natural moisturizer.
