Product Reviews: Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil

I love natural ingredients, healthy foods, substituting healthy foods for not-so-healthy options.  When I received my 32 oz. container of virgin coconut oil from Traditions “gold level” virgin coconut oil, I was excited to try out this new ingredient in my kitchen … and in my bathroom.

What?!  Let me tell you more! 🙂 

Coconut oil is obviously from a coconut and offers a wealth of reasons to use instead of other fatty oils:

• It helps fight pediatric pneumonia.
• It can be used as a salve on wounds.
• It can help maintain a healthy cholesterol level.
• It can increase the metabolism and can help with an underactive thyroid.
• It’s a great, non-irritating oil to use with those with IBS
• It strengthens the immune system.
• It has antifungal, antibacterial, and antiviral properties the help fight infection.

Get the point?  That’s the kitchen side of my excitement.  Coconut oil is also good for

• Fighting dandruff
• Acting as a conditioner for one’s hair
• Preventing liver spots.
• Acting as a natural sunscreen
• Fighting acne and
• …and more!

(I’m going to use it as a facial moisturizer and a hair conditioner and will post a follow-up as to my thoughts.)

Taste

As a result, I’ve use the coconut oil in some cooking lately, and I’ve not really noticed much of a difference in taste. Adam’s not noticed anything difference either. 🙂
