I've Got A Lovely Bunch of Coconuts

Coconut oil has so many uses.  It is great for baking (and healthy for you!).   It makes a great moisturizer (especially when my eczema is bothering me.  And my favorite use if for oil pulling.  In case you don't know what oil pulling is all about; let me enlighten you.  From what I understand, it has been used for this purpose for centuries.  Each morning I take 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of coconut oil and swish it back and forth (pulling) between my teeth.  Sounds totally gross, but it's not.  You do this for 10-20 minutes and then spit it out - then brush teeth as you normally would.  The coconut oil helps collect plaque, bacteria, etc. and you remove it from your mouth.  Although my dentist won't admit this is the reason, since I have been doing this, I have had much better check-ups!  I recently found a new favorite brand 'Healthworks Extra Virgin Coconut Oil '.  It has a much smoother texture and a much better flavor.  It has a pleasant slight coconut scent and taste.  I purchased mine on Amazon.  Give it a try! Link to product on Amazon.  I was able to purchase this product at a discounted price in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
