COCONUT OIL, RAW Cocos nucifera "Virgin Oil de Coco-Creme"
Coconut oil or coconut butter (as it’s known below 78° F in its solid state) has been employed as a medicine and food since antiquity. Widely used in Ayurvedic concoctions, it is considered the most cooling of all therapeutic oils. Unlike the deleterious cholesterol-rich saturated fats found in dairy products and meat, raw coconut oil is a cholesterol-free beneficent saturated fat comprised of mostly medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) which are digested and metabolized easily, being converted directly into energy rather than being stored as fat. Raw coconut oil has less calories than any other fat. The MCFAs in raw coconut oil are capric acid, caprylic acid, lauric acid and myristic acid. which display potent antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and antiprotozoal properties. Laboratory tests have shown these MCFAs to be useful for flu, herpes, ulcers, hepatitis C, AIDS, pneumonia, candida, fungal skin infections, and parasites. Raw coconut oil is antioxidant and helps stimulates proper thyroid function, aiding weight loss and assisting to lower cholesterol by converting it to pregnenolone, which is restorative to the body/mind and helps balance hormone levels. Consuming raw coconut oil regularly may also balance blood sugar. Taken internally and applied topically it is highly nourishing, regenerative and moisturizing to the skin. Widely used in the Tropics to protect skin and hair from the sun. It makes an exceptional massage and body oil. With its sensuous silky feel, delicious aroma and taste, we consider it the supreme erotic oil. Because coconut oil is one of the most naturally stable oils and unlike other oils does not form carcinogenic trans-fatty acids during heating, it is the ideal oil for cooking and imparts a wonderful flavor. Raw coconut oil can be used in place of butter/oils in any recipe. It can also be eaten straight and is a great creamy addition to smoothies. 1–2 tablespoons a day recommended, more for therapeutic doses.
