101 Uses for Coconut Oil



I’ve said before that I am with coconut oil
(http://wellnessmama.com/go/coconut-oil-book/) like the dad in “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” is with windex... I use it for everything. Right now, I have a five gallon bucket of it sitting next to my desk because we use so much and I don’t have anywhere else to keep it...
If you’d like to learn more about the benefits of coconut oil, the Virgin Coconut Oil Book (http://wellnessmama.com/go/coconut-oil-book/)
is a great resource and you’ll receive a free copy if you order anything from this company
(http://wellnessmama.com/go/coconut-oil-book/) and it is your first time ordering (no need to order the book (http://wellnessmama.com/go/coconut-oil-book/), it will add to cart automatically if you use this link and it is your first order).
Today, I’m sharing my top 101 (yes 101!!) uses for coconut oil:

What Kind of Coconut Oil?
For external uses, expeller pressed or other types of refined coconut oil will work, but for internal use, an unrefined virgin coconut oil is best. This book provides more information
(http://wellnessmama.com/go/coconut-oil-book/) about the benefits of coconut oil and the difference in the types of coconut oil.
I also love that this company
(http://wellnessmama.com/go/coconut-oil-book/) supports small family farms in the Philippines. We order in five-gallon pails, which is more expensive up-front but which saves a lot of money in the long term.

My husband and I both take about 4 tablespoons a day and the kids get a couple tablespoons in food, smoothies, or hot herbal tea.
