I use a baking soda paste for bug bites. After 5 minutes. No more itch. Itch and bump never come back. But how would i make this into a cream that would stay fresh a few days?
I used coconut oil years ago for eczema. Went away. Was virgin, cold pressed, unrefined.

Aloha,
I find it so interesting that there are so many traditions in India that come to find out have very real, valid, and amazing health benefits. My husband is Indian and coconut oil is used in India not only as a daily skin moisturizer, but the women also use it in their hair. They have beautiful black hair and the oil actually looks good on them…I am blonde and it just looks like I have dirty hair. LOL!
Understanding that coconut oil is beneficial in protecting the skin against fungus and bad bacteria makes a lot of sense as to why they have been using it daily for centuries. Turmeric uses are another thing that fascinate me…I am sure there will be many other things in their daily rituals that will prove to be very useful and healthy for our bodies which we Americans will ultimately find many scientific benefits important to our health and wellness!
I am really excited to use it with our magnesium oil and use it to benefit our body’s magnesium levels!
As always, thank you for your great content, Katie.

I use organic unrefined coconut oil on my body, especially legs, and it keeps me nice and moisturized, no dry spots on legs, particularly after shaving. The coconut oil moisturizes much better than lotion I used previously!

Hi
I have a question if i may. When you come to making the lotions etc – can I use ‘Borax Oil’ as an essential oil ? The reason why is due to Borax eliminating Flouride in the body.
Thanks so much

In reply to Cyndel Jones. There are cheaper versions and can be as low as 4 to 6 bucks for a jar :)

In reply to Louise. It is! The coconut oil will carry the same benefits as long as you don't mind it being a bit runny :-)

I don’t have any beeswax at the moment, is it possible to use the lotion in a liquid form? I live in the tropics and unless stored in the fridge coconut oil doesn’t solidify, I prefer to keep my lotion next to my bed!

I can only get the liquid type of coconut oil at the local stores here, does it work the same?

In reply to Oana J.. Just started to use coconut oil and I love what it does for my skin, but I may be going overboard by consuming 6 Tbls., plus the amount I use on bagel in the morning. Is this too much, can you let me know so I don't get a bad case of the poops again? I won't mind starting slow if I have to.

there is one thing you have to keep in mind when using coconut oil, skin absorption and high saturated fats.

while there may be mixed reviews on saturated fats, no doctor in their right mind would recommend anyone needing to intake ‘more’ fat.

What would happen if I added a vanilla essential oil to liquified coconut oil?

I just signed up for the Coconut Oil…I had been using LouAna until I read a post that helped me understand that there is a difference in Coconut Oils. Only pure for me from now on out! The smell is the thing that got me…when I finally got the real stuff I could totally tell just by the smell.
