My top 5 coconut oil uses

As you all know I love coconut oil it has so many uses I thought i would tell you my favourite ones.


1.The most obvious one is for cooking I use it everyday to cook my food I fry my turkey mince in coconut oil and when I am making stuff in the oven I always put a tea spoon onto some baking paper. Coconut oil is very different from most other cooking oils and contains a unique composition of fatty acids.The fatty acids are about 90% saturated.This makes coconut oil highly resistant to oxidation at high heats. For this reason, it is the perfect oil for high-heat cooking methods like frying .

2.Coconut oil can also be used to oil pulling is a old remedy people say it can help whiten your teeth i think it does make a difference to the colour of your teeth coconut oil can rid your teeth of bacteria found in plague that make them yellow.It also can promote healthy gums and keep your breath fresh. 

How to :In the morning, before you brush your teeth, scoop out a tea spoon of coconut oil. You can either soften it, or just put it in your mouth ( Push, swish, and “pull” the oil through and around your teeth for 10-15 minutes, then spit it out, rinse with water, and brush your teeth.

I also brush my teeth with coconut oil,lemon juice and baking soda once a week I make a paste with the 3 ingredients and brush them as normal.

3.Hair Treatment - Melt 3 table spoons of coconut oil (Depending on how long your hair is )
Shampoo hair and rinse well then on the ends only put the oil wrap hair in towel and leave for 1 hour then rinse well.

4.Moisturiser- I use it as a moisturiser on my face every night I take a pea size bit of coconut oil and rub it into my skin until it dissolves. I also use it on my lips keeps them from feeling dry or cracking.

5.Sugar Scrub- 
Ingredients            
1/2 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of coconut oil
Optional:essential oils

Method
1.Mix all ingredients and store in air tight jar
2.Use 1 tablespoon as needed in the shower scrub skin with the mixture it will remove dead skin cells and leave your skin silky and soft.
