Uses of Coconut Oil

Here is list of daily life situations where coconut can be used other than its traditional use in cooking food -

Hair mask and conditioner
Use coconut oil as a natural conditioner by applying it to your hair after shampooing. Rinse oil 5 minutes after applying the oil. Your hair will look more shiny and moisturized after it.
Take care in not applying too much of the oil.

Heal wounds
Coconut oil contains antibacterial and antifungal properties. So it can be used as wound healer. You can use it to speed up healing of open wounds or rashes. It also helps in reducing itching .

Cure cracked heels
If you have dry, cracked heels, cure it by applying coconut oil on them on a regular basis.

Add to smoothies and coffees

Adding 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil to smoothies not only improves its texture but also makes it healthier. Coconut oil can also act as an energizer and creamer when added to coffee.

You can make mayonnaise at home by blending 4 eggs, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, ½ teaspoon dried mustard, and then very slowly adding 1 cup coconut oil and ½ cup olive oil to it. The trick here is to add the oils slowly otherwise the mayo will break.
