So many good things!
Today I am going to talk about the wonder product, coconut oil!
If you have not looked at all the benefits of coconut oil, you have been missing out! This product can do so many incredible things. It is a natural home remedy. I have used it for so many things and people always seem off put as to me actually using it because they do not know the benefits. It has beauty, health, skin, hair and teeth benefits. I would tell you all the benefits but that could take much to much time. So I will share a more condensed list.
Health
- Can help improve insulin use in the body
- Increase digestion
- decrees bloating
- Helps body absorb fat-soluble vitamins
- Can increase good cholesterol
- Help the body fight viruses
- Can positively affect your hormones for thyroid and blood sugar control
- Decrease headaches
- Soothes hemorrhoids naturally
Beauty
- Natural moisturizer
- Skin protector, from the vitamin E
- Deep conditioner/mask for hair
- Can be used as eye makeup remover
- Cuticles
- When mixed with sugar can be a great exfoliant
- Can be made into toothpaste, promotes healthy gums
For use I use Aunt Patty's Extra Virgin Coconut oil. For cooking and consuming this is the better version of coconut oil, the most pure that is. You can use it in place of any cooking oil. You can blend a spoonful into smoothies or even your coffee (blending it is seems to be the best way, NOT stiring). For hair masks you can leave it on as long as you please, this is a great way for girls with curly hair to keep it looking super healthy with a lot less frizz (and it smells great!). Some are brave enough to just swallow a spoonful, I have not built up to that option yet.
If you have not tried out the benefits of coconut oil, I highly doing so!
