It may surprise you that coconut has been used as a medicine for centuries. Coconuts and coconut oil have proven to fight viruses and bacteria, help strengthen bones and teeth (for a pretty smile), and reduce the chances of heart disease.
Coconut oil, which is derived from the flesh of the coconut, also has proven healing qualities when used on the hair and skin.

Beautifying Nutrition
Though coconut oil is high in saturated fats, its fat is healthy according to Bruce Fife, CN, ND, director of the Coconut Research Center.
Coconuts hail much nutrition. They contain protein, calcium, folic acid, iron, and vitamins B1, B6, C, and E. The meat also contains 9 grams of fiber in a 1 cup serving. Imagine giving your body all this nutrition found in one simple food. It can only make you look better than any junk food would. But there's more! (read on)
The coconut's oil provides many unique benefits due to the compounds it contains. These compounds are lauric acid and caprylic acid. Both of these are sold as supplements, but the coconut oil itself is more beneficial as a direct source. Lauric acid kills harmful viruses and bacteria both internally and externally. Many mothers use the oil by applying it to their kids' skin to relieve symptoms of rosacea. Caprylic acid is antifungal.
Coconut oil also contains a surprising fat burner. This type of fat does not get stored in the body. Instead, it is the type of fat that produces energy which in turn stimulates and boosts metabolism. It is found in the oil's medium-chain triglycerides.
Beauty for Skin and Hair
The number of benefits are amazing for your skin. Coconut oil prevents acne and blemishes. It also helps treat rashes, eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea (as mentioned). Overall, coconut oil reduces inflammatory conditions of the skin; thus letting you treat the problem instead of suppressing it with pharmaceutical drugs that push the problems and symptoms (toxins) back into deeper layers of the body.
Coconut oil also helps your hair look vibrant by protecting it. It maintains the hair's protein as it gets absorbed into the hair shaft. For deep conditioning massage 2 to 3 tablespoons of coconut oil into hair and scalp. Leave in on overnight.
