In January we started using coconut oil in our daily lives!!! We now have a jar in the kitchen, one in each bathroom and one in the van!!! When choosing your coconut oil look for key words such as USDA Organic, Virgin, Unrefined, and if possible Non-GMO. What do we use it for? Lots of things, but there are so many more uses for it! Here are some of the uses our family uses it for:
- For applying Young Living essential oils.
- As a lotion, works great after shaving and on elbows and knees!
- It works great on feet by itself!
- Cooking
- As a popcorn oil, one of my kids favorite snacks!
- Add to smoothies.
- Mixed with Chia seed for an energy boost!
- Use to season skillets.
- Ingredient for making lip balm.
- Also as a natural lip balm by itself!
- Ingredient for making deodorant.
- Ingredient for making lotion bars.
- Ingredient for making natural cough drops
- Ingredient for making sunscreen.
- Oil pulling (rinsing your mouth with coconut oil and brushing right after)
- As a natural sunscreen (SPF 4)
- Treatment for eczema.
- Coconut Oil inside the nose to help with allergy symptoms.
- Eye make up remover.
- There is much, much more, but this is some of the things we are using it for in our home!
