Coconut oil has benefits to health and yet people take it for granted, because it is so readily available in the Philippines.

 

If you’re looking for a natural beauty essential, extra virgin coconut oil is definitely worth using.

 

Hair

 

Growing up, I would look forward to my mom’s weekly hair treatment of pure coconut milk and coconut oil—something we would do together. Coconut oil fully conditions your hair while promoting hair growth and health.

 

If done on a regular basis, this regimen will result in beautiful hair. It will prevent dandruff and premature graying. It also brings to life frizzy or dull hair.

 

Face

 

Coconut oil is a very rich and natural moisturizer for the face. If you have dry skin, mix equal parts of coconut oil and honey and apply to the face and neck. Wash off with water and some of your regular facial cleanser.

 

Coconut oil doubles as makeup remover as it cleanses your skin and works to hydrate your face.

 

Body

 

Coconut oil is a natural antifungal and antimicrobial agent, so applying it to your body as lotion can help heal wounds, eradicate stretch marks, and fade marks and scars. Mixing coconut oil with sugar and salt works as a daily body scrub.

 

Hands, feet

 

Hydrate your hands and feet with some coconut oil; if your feet are very dry, wear socks over the area for intense conditioning.

 

Applying coconut oil on your hands and feet works to address fungal infections, candida and eczema. It is rich in caprylic acid.

 

Oil pulling

 

Oil pulling is a major trend these days. This practice, passed on from thousands of years ago, gained great popularity recently as it has been promoted as a detox to treat allergies, fatigue, tooth decay, gum problems, bad breath and digestive disorders.

 

Oil pulling also works to promote weight loss and whiten teeth. The practice of oil pulling is basically done first thing in the morning. Before brushing the teeth, take one tablespoon of coconut oil and swish around the mouth for 20 minutes. Do not gargle, and no swallowing. The enzymes of the coconut oil are believed to kill bacteria in the mouth.

 

Coconut oil likewise addresses other health concerns such as migraine, menstrual cramps, PMS and asthma.

 

The Pure Company is a good coconut oil brand that uses unrefined coconut oil. Apart from extra virgin coconut oil, it also makes natural soaps, body scrubs, oils and lip balms that are convenient and handy to use for your daily beauty needs.

 

A good thing to note about coconuts and the oil derived from the coconut is that there are no GMO varieties, which only reflects how healthy and natural it really is.
