For the Love of Coconut Oil

Most people have heard all the amazing benefits that there are to using coconut oil. If you haven't, here's a few.

-restores dry hair
-helps nourish skin
-removes bags under eyes
-helps nails grow stronger
-improves digestion
-boosts immunity against illness
-delays wrinkles
-helps heal skin irritations such as eczema
-expedites weight loss
-stress relief
-prevents tooth decay

Since India is a country that uses coconut oil in all things, skin care, hair care, cooking etc. I decided to test the benefits and have found it to be quite as amazing as people claim. The biggest difference I saw was in my skin. Moving from a completely dry climate to a very humid one caused my skin to freak out a bit and I constantly developed a heat rash. Once I started applying coconut oil to my skin, it not only healed these rash breakouts but it also made my skin feel so soft. I have started using it for my hair as well and will begin to substitute coconut oil for most of my other cooking oils. It has been fun learning about this wonder oil during my time in India and before I left I got to visit a factory that produces this oil for local companies and businesses. The manager was kind enough to show a friend and I around and tell us the process that the coconut goes through before it becomes oil. Here are a few pictures of the process. Try it out if you haven't yet!
