Coconut Oil Blog

I heard coconut oil is healthier. I have started cooking in it and it is sweeter and do not absorb in your food like other oil.

I have been using some Jelly as Lubricant during my bedtime. I wanted to know if using Coconut oil or any kind of natural oils is hygienic and can be used without any side effects. Expecting answers from medical practitioners or some body in Gynach field.

someone told me that this works, but where do you buy coconut oil? I’m in Pittsburgh, PA.

I want to get coconut oil for my hair (to prevent my hair going gray). So should I get the cooking coconut oil or the cosmetic one? I got a cosmetic one, and applied it once, but it was very difficult to wash it out, had to shampoo my hair a couple of times, is that normal? or did i put too much?? Any suggestions?

The Save-on-Foods closest to my house carries Dulhan brand coconut oil 500 mL and it is quite hard and almost waxy/flaky. I believe it may be hydrogenated. What I would like to know is where I can purchase a larger quantity of this (maybe a few liters), preferably in a store, but if not, online. In other words, I don’t want the health industry’s extra virgin coconut oil; I want the coconut oil shortening. Also, where (again, preferably in a store) can I find palm and palm kernel oil? Thanks a bunch.

I see that some people have used the coconut essential oil. Is it safe to use the organic coconut oil?

Have you had any benefits from comsuming coconut oil? I’ve heard of the benefits of coconut oil and I’m curious about what benefits people who have used it have found. I’m looking for info from people who actually consume coconut oil. I know that there is some controversy about coconut oil not being a good fat.

I have heard really great things about using Virgin Coconut Oil on your skin. BUT when I went to look at my local grocery stores they only carry "Pure" Coconut Oil. I bought some but I am afraid it will clog my pores or something. Can anyone tell me if it is ok to use or should I go to the health food store and find Virgin Coconut Oil? Thanks so much!!!!

I want to apply the coconut oil on the heels of the feet to kill a fungus.
Also, I want to use the coconut oil for oral oil pulling to improve gum health.

I am trying to recreate an incredible chocolate chip cookie that I have recently tried. It had a subtle coconut flavor and it was super smooth and almost creamy. The person who made the cookies won’t share the recipe! I’m thinking they used coconut oil. Do I substitute the same amount of coconut oil instead of butter?
