About Coconut Oil                

Virgin coconut oil is the oil extracted from coconuts without the application of heat. It is rapidly gaining popularity throughout the world in comparison to ordinary coconut oil and for a good reason. It differs from regular coconut oil in significant ways. These differences mainly lie with the source (more specifically, the physical form of the source), the method of extraction, and its subsequent benefits.

Uses                

If you are using it for topical purposes, especially hair care, just melt the oil (if it is solid) by keeping the bottle in the sun or soaking it in warm water. You can also take some oil out and put it in a small bowl and warm it. Then, take the oil on your palm and apply it to your hair.

You can use coconut oil for cooking your favourite recipes. Coconut oil often comes in wide-mouthed containers.

Despite its benefits, a complete dietary switch to coconut oil is not recommended. This will mean that you will lose other benefits from more traditional oils and dairy products.

Coconut is good for the skin, especially in the treatment of wounds, burns, and dermatitis.
