The fat in the Coconut contains a large quantity of lauric acid, a medium chain triglyceride (MCT).
In our body, LauricAcid turns into a monoglyceride with ANTI-BACTERIAL properties, which can also be found in breast milk.
Lauric acid can kill harmful pathogens like bacteria, viruses and fungi.
It has been proven to kill bacteria Staphylococcus Aureus (a very dangerous pathogen) and the yeast Candida Albicans, a common source of yeast infections.
Internally it will fight bacterial infections, viral infections, fungi, great for weight loss, improved metabolism, healthy skin, thyroid health, etc etc etc… (See my website for more. www.janellapurcell.com)
You can take as much as 3 tbsp of coconut oil per day, even more.
Use it externally/topically to –
– Relieve sun burn
– Relieve dry skin
– Heal mild cuts and scrapes, bug bites and much more
– As a toothpaste or deodorant
– As a hair moisturiser or mask, or a scalp treatment for dandruff
Be sure to buy you should only use raw, unprocessed, extra virgin coconut oil. And preferably organic due to it sometimes being preserved with sulphur dioxide.
