Coconut Oil - Go Nuts!

It may sound crazy, but I have found the best body and facial lotion, bug bite soother, scrape and burn healer, and eczema reliever in the Coconut. We may be familiar with Coconut oil as a cooking aid and food enhancer because of its health and wellness properties. Consumed as a food Coconut oil is nature’s richest source of healthy medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs). These include Lauric Acid and Capric Acid and Coconut is one of the only foods that contains these rare healthy fats.

But, let me share the health benefits I have personally experienced for external uses of Coconut Oil. First and foremost, Extra Virgin, Expeller pressed Coconut Oil is paraben free, chemical free, phthalate free, sulfate free, and void of all the other additives and preservatives that are potentially harmful for us. Because of its natural healing properties, acne prone skin benefits incredibly from applying a thin layer on the face at bedtime. Remember to dot your eyes with a bit as well for a restorative overnight moisturizer. Try dabbing a bit of coconut oil on your child's scrapes, boo-boos, and bug bites for amazingly quick healing. Got Eczema?  A daily body rub down with Coconut Oil after a warm bath or shower works wonders for dry and irritated patches of skin. Safe for children, my 3 year old has greatly benefited from this routine and his eczema is healing nicely.


So, Go nuts with Coconut Oil for your skin's health and beauty.  Please visit our Antioxidants, Vitamins and other Wellness Supplements for even more health benefits at http://www.stylishhealthandfitness.com/category_81/Antioxidants-Vitamins-Minerals.htm
