They been mashed and squished and who knows what else they do to them to extract the oil.
I have this mini obsession with coconut oil and I know you'd like to hear about it.
During the sumer of '08, I was looking through a vitamin catalog when I came across a jar of Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. I was intrigued due to my love of everything coconut. After a date night with Sir Google, I learned that coconut oil has some really awesome health benefits- more on that later. I decided that I need to try this stuff. Not only did I order a jar of oil but I also bought a bottle of it in pill form.
When they arrived I started using the jar of oil for cooking and I took 2 pills twice a day! I quickly realized using the oil in my skillet made super yummy scrambled eggs! I started to notice after a month or so that my hairy was super shiney and my skin was soft! Super exciting!!!
I'm sure you are wondering why I keep refering to oil living in a jar! Coconut oil is a solid at temperatures below 76 degrees F. Any temperature above that, it's a liquid! Pretty neat, huh?! It always makes for a fun surprise when I open the jar. Will it be solid, liquid, or somewhere in between?
Of course, while I was pregnant with LBG, I didn't take my coconut oil pills. I did however continue to cook with it and the uses didn't stop there! The Green Living board on theNest.com had topic about The Oil Cleansing Method (OCM) that seemed like a fun challenge. You can read about OCM here. I gave it a shot with my coconut oil and have been going strong ever since!
Once I started using OCM, mind took off and now I just coconut oil in a whole host of ways!
Cradle cap? Lube up le bebe's scalp and exfoliate with a brush... wash hair.
Itchy pregnant belly? Coconut oil is super soothing!
Hair has dry ends? Apply a small amount of coconut oil.
Ran out of eye makeup remover, cold cream, etc? Coconut oil
Have a zit? Windex! (Name that movie!)
I need to stress that only Extra Virgin oil will do. Any other kind is a little too processed and will have lost much of it's awesome super powers.
Speaking of super powers... I could type up a whole blurb on their magically powers, but it's much easier to give you a link since LBG is needing a diaper change and dinner needs to be cooked. Check it out, yo!
... and with that I leave on a small recipe for my own little "lotion."
1/2 cup EV Coconut oil
1/4 tsp Jojoba oil
1/4 tsp Vitamin E oil
Combine and store in a recycled jar. It's great for after the shower!
