What Kind of Coconut Oil? For external uses, expeller pressed or other types of refined coconut oil will work, but for internal use, an unrefined virgin coconut oil is best. This book provides more information about the benefits of coconut oil and the difference in the types of coconut oil. I also love that this company supports small family farms in the Philippines. We order in five-gallon pails, which is more expensive up-front but which saves a lot of money in the long term. My husband and I both take about 4 tablespoons a day and the kids get a

couple tablespoons in food, smoothies, or hot herbal tea. Free Coconut Oil Book for You If you’ve never ordered coconut oil before, now is your chance to try it.

Sachette Leonie My grandfather use to plant and drink his own coffee with coconut milk. Miss him and those days. I use it in my hair, on my skin, and use it to cook. Recently an elderly lady told me her husband's neurologist recommend it for her husband who has signs of dementia. My mother use to make the oil when I was young - I planned on doing so when i go home.

Anthea Sletcher Ex Scott Your mother was a very special lady, always helping anyone she could, her home was always open to all your friends n there were a lot of us, she always made u feel welcome, always jolly n shared everything even when she had so little. Yes, she certainly was an exceptional lady. Wish we'd written down all our folks remedies n fertilisers. My dad could grown anything with his mixture, if only we'd taken more interest then. Sure we'd have so many natural cures. What wonderful times we had
