Disease
Coconut oil is actually 50% lauric acid, which not only helps aid your hair, but also your heart. Lauric acid helps prevent issues such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol. This acid ends up lowering LDL cholesterol, which is considered "bad" cholesterol, and contributes to blocked arteries and plaque buildup. While there are other factors involved in decreasing heart risks, coconut oil displays definite benefits to helping with heart-risk prevention.Makeup
Trying to remove makeup can be a bit of a pain, especially when it comes to makeup products that are waterproof or generally don't budge. Coconut oil is excellent at removing this type of makeup from the face, while also removing it from your brushes as well. Cleaning face brushes once a week is as long as you should go, as bacteria does build up and can lead to breakouts. Using coconut oil with a combination of antibacterial soap on your makeup brushes ensures that the makeup is completely gone, and bacteria are also eliminated.Digestion
The fatty acids in coconut oil can also aid the digestive system, specifically with the help of medium chain fatty acids (MCFA). These acids are absorbed quickly into the body, putting less stress and effort on the digestive system. This basically means your body will have more energy, and also suggests that coconut oil has an effect on weight loss due to this energy breakdown.Hair
As we get into the warmer months, trying to get rid of dry hair can also be an issue caused from the harsh, cold weather. Coconut oil acts as a great restorative for those with hair damage, dry hair, dandruff, and even hair loss. The key ingredient is a fatty acid called lauric acid, which has a high affinity for hair proteins and softens those dried out strands. Those who favor coconut oil recommend applying an even amount from root to tip (or wherever dryness is experienced), and letting it absorb for 30-40 minutes until washing it out completely. After using coconut oil, hair can become more shiny and soft, as well as preventing breakage.Clean Brushes
Let the brushes soak in coconut oil for awhile, then rinse them off. They will be as good as new.Skin
While the concept of applying oil to the skin might not seem right to some, coconut oil is an incredibly affective moisturizer, especially for those with dry skin. Ensuring that skin is well moisturized is just one method for counteracting the signs of premature aging, and coconut oil takes it to another level. Coconut oil is also great at lightening dark spots and some even recommend it for treating acne. By moisturizing with a product like coconut oil, the skin doesn't think it's dehydrated and won't produce heavy amounts of sebum that get trapped in pores.Improve Cellulite
Coconut Oil has show to be extremely effective against cellulite. It keeps your skin tight, and your confidence high when used often.Infections
The risk of getting an infection on an open wound or an illness is always around, but coconut oil is a great, natural product to use to combat this potential threat. Coconut oil aids in combating viruses like herpes, influenza, and even measles, while also eliminating various types of bacteria. The use of this product for healing purposes has been put into place by many in Pacific and Asian areas, and long considered as a cure for illness and harmful pathogens.Remove Pesky Dark Spots

Nobody likes cold sores...and Coconut Oil is here to fight the battle for you! Natural treatment from Coconut Oil is much gentler on your sensitive lips.What To Buy
The best type of coconut oil to use is any kind with "unrefined" or at least "organic" on the packaging. Unrefined means this product hasn't been treated with bleach or any other chemical process to eliminate potential bacteria. While this is better for flavor, unrefined coconut oil will also not contain any harmful trans fats. Choosing "refined" coconut oil would mean the coconut has endured a chemical process, as well as sometimes experiencing hydrogenation. By going with refined coconut oil, you aren't getting as many of the health benefits as you would be from oil that is unrefined and as close to its natural element as possible.
Coconut oil is available in grocery stores, as well as online. Be sure to be look out for specific information and labeling in regards to unrefined and refined. With both cosmetic and medicinal benefits, coconut oil is an excellent product for healthy living.
