The Miracles of Coconut Oil with Health Benefits Inside & Out

DID YOU KNOW THERE ARE MULTIPLE USES FOR COCONUT OIL FROM THE INSIDE OF YOUR BODY TO THE OUTSIDE? 🤔

FIND OUT WHY SO MANY PEOPLE CALL THIS THE MIRACLE PRODUCT ! 🌴

The benefits are astounding from promoting healthier skin and hair to improving digestion and also building a stronger immunity against infections and diseases.  I personally love coconut oil and I put a teaspoon in my protein smoothie every single morning. I like the idea of adding a healthy and nutritious fat to my smoothie to give me the extra energy boost and also it fills me up before heading out for the day.  BUT, did you know that this is just one of the many benefits that coconut oil provides?  Here are just some of the amazing ways to use coconut oil that will greatly benefit YOU from the inside out!

AMAZING BENEFITS OF COCONUT OIL

” your skin will glow “, approximately $8

SKIN CARE: effective moisturizer, help prevent premature aging due to it’s antioxidant properties, massaging oil, helps treat psoriasis, dermatitis and other skin infections. Look for a natural product with no added preservatives or fragrances.
Most products will be perfect for both skin and hair care.  I love how it can restore your skin and hair bringing moisture back and provide a protective layer to combat the damaging effects of sun, wind and cold weather.  I can really feel my skin soften, especially on my hands, elbows and feet which can get extremely dry.

” soft & natural hair care products, great for smooth hair “, approximately $20 for the set

HAIR CARE: stimulate healthy growth of hair, create shiny hair, effective in replacing protein loss, excellent natural conditioner, help re-growth damaged hair, regularly massaging head can ensure scalp is dandruff free. I used this Shea Moisture Coconut Hibiscus Curling Shampoo and Conditioner when I was in Hawaii, to keep my curls frizz free and shiny and it made my curls softer and less frizzy due to the coconut oil.  With the hibiscus and coconut and the added moisture from shea butter its the perfect product that will keep your curls looking perfect.

” value size for multi uses, especially smoothies & cooking “, approximately $23

WEIGHT LOSS: can be useful for weight loss, when used in moderation,  due to it’s content of fatty acids that help in taking off excess weight when it increases the body’s metabolic rate by removing stress on the pancreas and providing more energy to your body.

DIGESTION: when cooking with coconut oil it can help improve your digestive system, thus preventing stomach and digestion problems, the saturated fats in coconut oil have antimicrobial properties which help with the bacteria that can cause indigestion

HEART DISEASE: there is a misconception that coconut oil is not good for your heart due to it’s large quantity of saturated fat, although in moderation can benefit your heart by it’s content of 50% lauric acid, also can help prevent heart problems like high cholesterol and high blood pressure.

TYPES/PURPOSE: Cooking – use refined, Good Health – use virgin/organic, Massaging – use pure/refined, Medicinal – use virgin/organic

HEALTH BENEFITS:

Hair: nourish, reduce protein loss

Skin: prevent wrinkles, dryness and flakiness

Heart: prevents high cholesterol and blood pressure

Bone/Teeth: improves bone strength and dental health

Digestion: promotes nutrient absorption, increase metabolism

” alternative for healthy cooking “, approximately $18

FOOD USES:

Use for cooking at high heats, creamer for your coffee, boost nutrients for your smoothies, excellent tasting topping for popcorn, replace fats when baking.  This is a great choice for  health-conscious lifestyles: This is a healthy alternative to butter and cooking oil, high content of median-chain fatty acid boosts many great benefits for your body, contains zero trans-fat.

” so many uses for so many body parts “, approximately $13

BODY USES:

Natural moisturizer, makeup remover, lip balm, add with epsom salt for relaxing bath, gentle face wash, massage oil, shaving cream, soften feet/heals, natural hair conditioner, mix with coconut sugar for skin exfoliator.  This liquid form of coconut oil has miraculous skin benefits. It has high concentration of capric acid and caprylic acid, which give it an amazing amount of antioxidant and disinfecting properties. It’s an excellent moisturizer and is fantastic for soothing skin rashes, irritations and inflammation. It’s also known to help fight acne.

Fractionated coconut oil is superb for soothing chapped lips, and skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. It has a longer shelf life, is more stable and generally less is needed compared to the other types of coconut oil. Unlike normal coconut oil, fractionated coconut oil remains in a liquid state even at low temperatures.

 

” leaving home, no worries, bring it with you “, approximately $15

TRAVELING:

Don’t worry, you can bring your coconut oil with you wherever you go, no matter where you are traveling! It’s great to have these packets for moisturizer, tooth paste, shaving cream, coffee creamer, etc. for on the go !

There are very few things that you can not use coconut oil for, that is why it is touted as the miracle product.
