I’ve used coconut oil now for a few months because I’ve always had very dry and sensitive skin. I live up north and the climate causes some problems too when it’s cold. Of all the things I’ve tried coconut oil is definitely one of the best simple remedies you can find. My skin has now become much softer and smoother. And I love the smell!

I have something to say about coconut oil, I recently stopped smoking and started using electronic cigarettes, well I got the nicotine that was based in vegetable glycerin to refill my carts. Well to my surprise when I started my period I had no menstrual cramps then I realized it must have something to do with vegetable glycerin so I researched it and found out it is made of coconut oil. Then researched coconut oil and it helps menstrual cramps. So I went from terrible menstrual cramps to no cramps at all ,now isn’t that amazing and totally unexpected. But you should start slow on coconut oil because it did give me a light rash so I had to back off some and taking it slower. I use pg based and using vg more slowly to build tolerance.

Hi Laquita,
Coconut oil has long shelf life – 5 years when properly stored in cool, dark place. Coconut oil does not have to be refrigerated. Try to avoid plastic containers, especially in hot climate.
As far as I know, the lauric acid in coconut oil helps maintain cholesterol levels that are already within the normal range. If you do not cook, you can just take a spoonful of virgin coconut oil a day with, say, a toast. I believe it will be better than taking handfuls of costly and highly processed tablets.
Cheers,
Natalia

How do you feel about coconut oil tablets. I have recently started using them. Do you think it will help bring my cholestrol down. I do not cook enough to benefit from cooking with it.
Also you say the oil has a long shelf life. How long is long? Someone gave me some in a plastic container several years ago and I have just recently gotten interested in using it. I use it on my hair and skin.

Good post, people really do not realise the great benefits of coconut oil. I use it all the time to keep my skin hydrated as I live in a warm climate and the sun has such a drying effect.
Another thing I use it for is my eczema – mixed with shea butter its great.
