Coconut Oil is easily digested by the body and unlike other fats, which tend to be stored as fat, the medium chain fatty acids in coconut oil are used by the body for metabolism. Used in cooking, it does not form harmful by-products when heated like other vegetable oils do.

Coconut Oil is extensively used in traditional medicine among Asian and Pacific populations. Pacific Islanders consider coconut oil to be a cure for all illness. The coconut palm is so highly valued by them as both a source of food and medicine that it is called "The Tree of Life." Only recently has modern medical science unlocked the secrets to coconut's amazing healing powers.

Coconut Oil is beneficial for the heart. It contains about 50% lauric acid, which helps to prevent high cholesterol levels and high blood pressure. It also reduces the incidence of injury in arteries and therefore helps in preventing atherosclerosis.

• The optimal amount for an adult is between 3 and 4 tablespoons per day.  This equates to the amount of medium chain fatty acids a nursing child would consume in one day from mother's milk.  It is best to use coconut oil three times a day at meal times.  We recommend that you begin with a smaller amount and build up to the recommended dosage if necessary.
• Note:  The lauric acid in coconut oil is antibacterial, anti-protozoal and antiviral and there could be a "die off" effect as offending organisms are removed from the body. This could cause diarrhea.  That is why you do not want to start off with the maximum dose.  Build up to it over the course of a few days if necessary.  Spread out whatever amount you decide to take over the course of the day (three times with meals is best) and reduce your intake if there are side effects.
• Use Coconut Oil in cooking – does not form trans fats and become harmful when heated
• Skin Care: Coconut oil is excellent massage oil for the skin as well. It acts as an effective moisturizer on all types of skins including dry skin.   It also delays wrinkles, and sagging of skin that normally becomes prominent with age. Coconut oil also helps in treating various skin problems including psoriasis, dermatitis, eczema and other skin infections. Therefore coconut oil forms the basic ingredient of various body care products such as soaps, lotions, creams, etc., used for skin care.
