I have the same problem, associate coconut oil with sweet things. I don’t even know all the benefits from it and that is also why I started this, to see what others have found that it helps. My mother-in-law gives coconut oil to her bulldog once a day, 1 tsp to cure skin issues. I hadn’t thought about taking it myself until just lately when someone said they were taking it to help their own skin. I know there have to be other things it helps other than skin, maybe not?
Wow, thanks Angie. I have a friend who was just diagnosed with HIV and I will tell him to start with the coconut oil right away. If there is any chance in helping he should start right away. Alfredo sounds great right now, I’m super hungry! Better go to the store on my way home from work. Until then, water it is.
I bathe my face and neck in it almost every morning!! It’s amazing!
Hi everyone, it’s been 22 hours since I’ve visited this thread and WOW I didn’t expect to have so much information shared. Thank you.
I plan to go to the store tonight and get some. Now I want to try it on my skin as well. Have any of you had a bad reaction to using coconut oil on your skin such as breaking out? Do you use it just like lotion?
Chicory- That is exactly what I was afraid of, I will probably try it to see how I react but my skin seems to break out easily with ointments but with this being so pure maybe my skin would react better.
Bitt- I don’t know if you have a Fred Meyer where you live but I bought some there this morning. It is Organic, unrefined, virgin cocomut oil.
