Virgin Coconut Oil Uses and Benefits
While all of the uses in this article are phenomenal you may be wondering how you can apply Virgin Coconut Oil to get the most use from this fabulous oil. It not only does great things for your appearance that will be readily evident to those you come in contact with but it is equally effective for things that aren’t apparent to the naked eye. VCO is not just for the sake of vanity but is also a very effective cure for some common and quite uncomfortable ailments.
To be very specific, to attack the fungi and yeast that cause candidacies, ringworm, athlete’s foot, thrush, diaper rash, and other infections you simply need apply VCO the same way you would a lotion or balm. But say you have a vaginal yeast infection that you’re trying to treat. If you were using a traditional drugstore cure you would treat yourself internally with a suppository and externally with a cream, correct? Well, you’ll do the same thing with Virgin Coconut Oil.
How climate changes effect coconut oil is going to be key in how you use it. At 76˚ Coconut Oil becomes liquid and in this state is perfect for use as a topical aid. The colder it gets the more solid it will become. This is what makes it possible to make your own suppositories.
• Simply take a teaspoon and level in off with the oil.
• Place in the freezer for 1-2 minutes. (You may want to check on it every 30 seconds, this conversion takes place rather quickly.)
• It’s helpful to turn the spoon over and run hot water on the back so that you can pop the “suppository” out of the bowl of the spoon.
• Insert as you would a store bought suppository, prior to lying down for the night.
• Repeat as many nights as needed until you’re cured of your vaginal yeast infection. (I’ve found that it takes only 2-3 days max.)
There are many more uses for Coconut Oil so as long as you have it on hand feel free to explore the possibilities.
