I use it for everything, literally. I eat it every morning on an empty stomach straight out of the jar obviously gulp down some water after but and try to for dinner but sometimes forget. I love it. I useit for a lotion on my body and my babies and his bottom.
I LOVE it! It is gross at first but you get used to it.0 -

Aside from liking the taste, my favorite thing about coconut oil is that when I cook with it, nothing burns. I also use it to season my cast iron pan.
Same, I use it for cooking and my cast iron pan.
Besides that I swish it in my mouth for 5 mins then rinse my mouth out and brush my teeth. It helps make teeth whiter and gums healthier. :flowerforyou:
I have been reading up on oil pulling. From what I've read 20 minutes of swishing it in your mouth pulls toxins from your body and does make your teeth whiter and your gums healthy. I have some coconut oil at home and guess I should try it. My gums are in horrible shape and so are my teeth.0 -
