Have you read all the possible uses for coconut oil? This is often reported as the fix everything oil! I am amazed at the extent Coconut oil has made its way on the shelves at the stores. Based on the articles and research I have read, I think the possibilities have barely been touched.
These are the 10 favorite uses for coconut oil at our house:
- Used as a lotion (great on hands after washing dishes)
- To remove eye-makeup
- As a sunscreen or tanning lotion (contains SPF 4)
- As a wonderful massage oil
- Mixed with equal parts sugar for a body scrub
- Rubbed into lips as chap stick
- Natural Hair Conditioner – Massage through hair, cover with cap for an hour, shampoo as usual
- Use as any vegetable oil in recipes
- Soothing to a sore throat mixed in a cup of warm tea
- Settles heartburn and nausea taken in warm ginger tea

I was just researching coconut oil yesterday because I had heard there is promising data showing that ingesting coconut oil can help with Alzheimer’s. Definately worth noting. Gotta love that coconut oil!

I use unrefined coconut oil as a butter replacement. It’s great on baked potatoes as well as melted and poured on popcorn.

I have not tried using coconut oil yet. I sure have heard a lot about it lately, though. I see a lot more recipes and uses like the ones you listed above. For some reason I thought that it was one of the unhealthy oils like palm oil.
