Virgin Coconut Oil and Its Health Benefits
Posted By Jacque on March 7, 2009
We have been using garlic oil as a topical antibiotic remedy for about ten years now. I discovered a recipe for GOOT a few years ago, and we have used it ever since. Most of the time, I have made it without the coconut oil, because we just didn’t keep it. You can use the olive oil in lieu of the coconut oil if you have to. When I have made it without the coconut oil, I used just a tad less olive oil than I would have coconut oil. It is better than not using the GOOT at all.
However, since reading about how the benefits of using virgin coconut oil topically are many, I have decided that we will be using the virgin coconut oil in it when we make it from now on. VCO is anti-bacterial and anti-fungal.
Here are the many others benefits to using it, both topically and internally:
*reduces fever when massaged onto skin
*helps with acne as it cleans the pores and clears your face.
*relieves itching and prevents infection from bug bites
*stops a wound from bleeding and speeds healing.
*skin moisturizer
*improves complexion and scars
*can be used as a sunscreen, making your skin more resistant to sun’s rays decreasing your chance to have skin cancer.
*kills germs and bacteria that causes body odor
*can rid the body of fungal infections like athletes foot.
*can alter tumor growth.
*can be used to treat skin problems, such as psoriasis
*strengthens immune system
*is a good detoxifier
We use organic coconut oil. We get ours at Kroger, in the organic section. I am not sure if they carry the Virgin Coconut Oil, but you can always get out the Yellow Pages and see if there is a health food store near you. They usually carry such items.
EDITED: We are now using VCO from Tropical Traditions. They have wonderful products, specials and giveaways. You can follow them on Twitter for daily updates: http://twitter.com/troptraditions
