Health Issues Relieved By Coconut Oil

We all have our tried and tested ways to relieve some of the following health problems, but why not give coconut oil a try?

It’s natural, relatively inexpensive and you can use it in baking and cooking as a replacement oil or even pop some in your smoothies. These are just a few of the health problems that may be relieved, soothed or even cured by taking coconut oil internally (ie, eating it!).

• Eczema and skin problems
• Toenail Fungus
• Hot flushes
• Bleeding haemorrhoids
• Head lice
• Menstrual cramps
• Migraines
• Glandular Fever and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
• Parasites (usually intestinal)
• Thrush and yeast infections
• Gallbladder pain
• Underactive thyroid
• Low energy levels
• Flaky, dry skin
• Acid reflux and indigestion
• Adrenal fatigue
• Alzheimers
• Helicobacter pylori
• Asthma
• Autism
• Cholesterol
• Poor circulation
• Immune system abnormalities
• Mental Clarity
• Depression
• Inflammation caused by Crohns Disease

And not to be forgotten are the amazing benefits of applying coconut oil as a topical treatment. (ie, rubbing it into your skin!)

• Athletes foot
• Back pain/sore muscles
  
• Canker sores
• Acne
• Cellulite
• Herpes and Genital warts (both topical and internal methods are recommended, as well as coconut oil  enemas twice daily!)
• Circumcision Healing

Always remember to use virgin organic coconut oil, as cheaper or processed versions are claimed to be not as effective.
