10 Benefits of Coconut Oil

There are so many uses for your body and around your home for pure coconut oil. I use it to dilute essential oils I use on my skin like lavender on the babies feet to help her calm at night and sleep well or when I mix it with Eucalyptus Oil and rub on our chests if we get congested. Even in the summer just rubbing coconut oil on helps prevent sunburn on the skin!

Most of all we use it for cooking! I use this in any recipe that requires oil, like baking homemade bread, muffins, waffles or pancakes. When I caramelize Onions I use half extra virgin olive oil for the butter flavor then half coconut oil.
