Default Virgin Coconut Oil...

Anybody here using Virgin Coconut oil as health supplements or anything for maintenance?

I'm using it for my hair. It makes my hair shiny and soft.

Here are some uses of VCO...

VCO For Your Newborn Infant
Virgin coconut oil (VCO) is a baby friendly product because it contains lauric acid which has antimicrobial properties that protect newborn babies from diseases and bacteria.

Virgin Coconut Oil for Pregnant Women
Coconuts in a lot of tropical countries are regarded as a fruit that enhances one’s fertility and so help one conceive. A priest in India would prescribe women who are hoping to get pregnant with a special coconut. In Thailand, the first solid food that an infant receive is usually the soft meat of a coconut.

A Flat Tummy is Possible with VCO
One natural way to achieve a flat tummy is by taking virgin coconut oil (VCO) regularly.

Pamper Your Feet with VCO

Pampering your feet will make you feel better and recharged. A clean and moisturized feet is also nice to look at and a source of envy for many. If you want to have beautiful feet, then virgin coconut oil is one natural foot care solution you can try.

Remove Stretch Marks with Virgin Coconut Oil

One can also use virgin coconut oil to solve the stretch mark problem because VCO contains vitamin E. Pregnant women in South India apply the coconut extract on their bellies to prevent stretch marks.

Use VCO for Pet Care
Caring for animals can bring so much joy and satisfaction for pet lovers that they would do anything to ensure the health and well being of their pets. Are you one of them? Well one of the nicest things you can do for your pets is to give them virgin coconut oil (VCO).

Use VCO For Thicker Hair
The good news is that now there’s a natural, safe and easy way to prevent hair from becoming thin, dull, and lifeless and that is by using Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO).

This is all true. I have tried using it for my hair to make it thicker and stronger since my hair used to be really thin and easily breaks. It doesn't smell too nice but it does wonders for my hair so it's worth it.

One of my friend is using this VCO, and she is also advertising it to me. I know you'll get lots of benefits here. Do you think with those benefits that we can get, it will not gave us side effects?

Applying to lips may cause darkening of lips, people are more cautious of the colour of the lips than the cracks, in todays life style.

Hi! Chokie, thanx a lot for nice uses, and tips of the oil, and can you please tell from where do we get this oil, i need it very badly. Is it good for anybody? does it have any side-effects?

That's nice info, thanks. VCO is really have many benefits. I ever told to drink coconut oil regularly, and I did it. I drink a spoon of VCO a day. It didn't feel tasty actually LOL, and I didn't notice any significant improvement in my body. Maybe it was because I just drank it for 10 days.

coconut oil is usually made from dried coconut (copra) .The copra is squeezed to get the oil.
Virgin coconut oil on the other hand is made either by extracting it from fresh coconut milk , or from fresh coconut as opposed to copra.

virgin oil goes through less processing and is considered to be of better quality and more pure than the non virgin oil

yeah VCO is great! its is a good beauty regimen and at the same time good for your health. i don't think it has overdose because it is a herbal. the only thing is if you take it orally and you have it lots you may suffer loose bowel

I've also been using it on my hair. The first day after I do it, it just seems oily, but after I've washed it twice, it does make my hair shiny and soft. Plus is cheaper than some professional treatmentsl.

You know "Farce" all coconut oils in kakinada are 100% VCO, why because we get naturally here, and never struggle for it, i think coconut oils in your place had sex already or will have sex because they'll be stored ones and are exported from our places, check out whether they are virgin or non-virgin.

Virgin is simply unadulterated .. i have posted what VCO is how it is made and all that.I was simply expressing my suprise that you who was from kakinada and a medical professional too didnt know that and asked where you can get it from ..

if they are all VCO then why did you ask where you can get it ?
