Different Uses for Coconut Oil
What are some different ways to use coconut oil? Well, let me tell you!
About a year ago, when we were on our Whole 30 kick that lasted about 15 days, I found this amazing thing. Coconut Oil! A healthy fat, in that it doesn’t affect your cholesterol the same way as margarine or the like.
Then, I found there are different ways to use coconut oil other than just to fry my eggs every morning.
So, what are some ways to use this yummy nectar de coconut?
- Lotion. Smells yummy and helps with dry skin at the same time. I had a patchy spot on my leg. Rubbed the oil on it for a few days and it cleared right up
- As a carrier oil for your doTerra Essential Oils
- Use in homemade deodorant or toothpaste
- Use in homemade soap
- Athlete’s foot treatment
- Shaving cream for smoother legs
- As a cooking oil in place of vegetable oil
- As a foot scrub
- Season your cast iron
- Defrizz split ends
In the near future I plan to make both the homemade deodorant and homemade toothpaste. I will be sure to report back to you on the results.
