What is the difference between body lotion and body butter?

cynthiaxma

Im curious :P

Answer
Lotion Benefits
Lotion is a plentiful commodity found in most homes. Lotions rely upon a combination of oil and water bound together through the use of an emulsifier. Whether it's a moisturizing lotion to relieve dry skin or a medicated lotion, such as calamine lotion, it tends to go on smoothly, absorb quickly, and leave no greasy residue.
Body Butter Benefits
Body butter generally includes three basic ingredients: shea butter, a vegetable oil, and coconut oil or butter. There are different types of body butter as well. You can choose from whipped, waxless and even a bar-type. The whipped butter usually includes beeswax, which makes the formula harder to absorb but longer lasting, while the waxless and bar-type are more easily absorbed into the skin. Body butters are thicker than lotion and tend to leave a film on the surface of the skin.
Which to Choose
The fact that most body butters use shea butter, an all-natural, healing vitamin A cream, makes them ideal for skin damaged by dryness, wind or chapping. A body butter will provide superior, longer-lasting emollients, making it the choice when dry skin also needs intense moisture and healing. If added moisture is all that is necessary, a lighter, more easily absorbed lotion would be adequate.

How can I go on a diet and not be afraid to eat?

Geki

I just started dieting to lose weight for a week now. I'm 5'4 and 160 pounds. I want to try and lose 30 pounds in a year. I've been cutting down my calories to no more than 1800, and working out for at least two hours a day.

The problem is now I am afraid to eat. Yesterday I didnt eat more than 1000 calories because I've been to afraid I'd pass my 1800 calorie mark. I'm so afraid to eat dinner with my family and just make something of my own because they eat whatever they want to. My problem is kind of the opposite of overeatting.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Answer
Focus on what you can eat vs what you cannot eat.

If you want a proven way to "count" your food in a way that dramatically causes fat loss, consider Jorge Cruz' Belly Fat Cure. Basically, if you worry about counting primarily sugars and carbs, you can lose that stubborn fat. He sets the amount at 15 grams of sugar per day and 6 servings of carbs per day. His book has details on how to do it.

Stay clear of artificial sweeteners, bad fats (try to use only pure butter, cold-pressed olive or coconut oil for cooking, and only olive and walnut oil for salads - stay away from vegetable oils and anything hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated and margerines) - and limit the butter and olive oil. Coconut oil actually helps weight loss, but you still don't want to overdo the calories.

So unless your family's meals are too high in fat/bad fat, go ahead and eat with them, just count your sugars and your carbs, and adjust the meal as you need to by adding a side veggie and skipping the mashed potatoes, for example.

Next, stop working out for 2 hours a day. This has been shown to be counterproductive to weight loss. On top of that, it isn't sustainable if you want to live a balanced life someday. But mostly, it just doesn't work, and tends to work worse the longer you do it.

Instead, start doing an exercise that isn't going to take your whole life, but yields impressive returns, like T-Tapp or Rebounding. Both will tone your body and take out the trash like crazy, while providing other health benefits. If nothing else, go to the T-Tapp.com site, and learn (for free) how to do the "hoe-downs" exercise. It reduces blood sugar by 60-85 points in just 3 minutes. Brilliant. Do it after every meal, and you will have less available for fat storage.

Which one is better: coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil?

Which one would give thicker, shinier hair in less time? And which one would have better results?

Answer
Is Olive Oil Better Than Coconut Oil on Hair?
By Shaun McGonigal, eHow Contributor

Both olive and coconut oils are beneficial in maintaining hair health, but in different ways. Whether one or the other is better for you will depend on what needs you have concerning your hair.

Recipe for a Coconut Oil & Olive Oil Protein Conditioner
http://www.ehow.com/how_6872980_recipe-olive-oil-protein-conditioner.html

Olive Oil

If your hair is dry, whether from a dry climate or the season, using olive oil can be a beneficial way to help. Olive oil, preferably extra virgin olive oil, can help nourish, help condition and strengthen your hair by warming it, combing it into your hair, and then letting it sit for a while before washing your hair in a hot shower. You can also leave it in, based upon your preferences and how much you use.

Olive oil is also good for dealing with head lice, as well as either mayonnaise or petroleum jelly. It is used to smother the lice as part of the process to wash out the lice, and can be used in conjunction with a lice comb and other methods.

Coconut oil

Coconut oil is used in various cultures, particularly India and Sri Lanka, for haircare and hair-styling. It can be used similarly as olive oil in that it helps moisturize the scalp and hair as well as strengthens hair follicles.

Coconut oil is beneficial in thickening hair and in helping make hair curly and full as well as moisturizing and strengthening hair.

Hair Growth
Many people believe that oils, such as olive and coconut oils, can help hair grow quicker. It is believed to improve the health of the scalp and thus stimulate the follicles and thus increase hair-growth rates.

The fact is that no reliable evidence exists to demonstrate this to be true. Hair growth can be stimulated by certain drugs and procedures and is related to genetic factors, but use of oils does not seem to have a demonstrable effect in itself on the rate of hair growth.

Can you leave oil in your hair?
Leaving either oil in your hair will not harm you in any way, but whether you want to do so will depend on which oil you use and what you want your hair to look and feel like. Whether you want to leave any amount of oil in your hair will depend on how much you use, andhow oily you are comfortable leaving your hair

Both olive oil and coconut oil will be absorbed by the hair follicles to some degree, so you can wash your hair and some will remain. So long as you give the oil time to be absorbed, washing your hair will not remove all of the oil and will leave your hair more moist, shiny, and healthier.

Olive oil will tend to leave your hair looking more oily, and is thus preferred as a means to moisten and condition, rather than as a product to leave in throughout the day. Coconut oil will not leave as much of an oily residue and is preferred as a product to leave in to create a shiny look.

Some people find that leaving coconut oil in your hair results in "crunchy" or stiff hair, probably due to the fact that it helps to prevent protein loss in the hair shaft, which some people are sensitive to.

So, which is better?
Overall, many people seem to prefer the use of coconut oil to olive oil in their personal hair care, especially if they plan to leave more of the oil in. In addition to moistening hair, coconut oil also adds thickness and body more than olive oil. However, if thickness and body are not your concern, then olive oil may be your preference.

Olive oil seems to be the preference for people who desire to moisten and condition their hair periodically, and is usually washed out after left in for a short while. Olive oil leaves a more noticeable oily look than coconut oil, and thus is preferred or not as a result, depending on what you want.

Did the fish oil make my dog sick?

Lovergirl3

We gave our puppy fish oil for the past two days. and starting yesterday she has had diarrhea and vomited once. This morning she had diarrhea again. Is it the fish oil? why didn't it affect her right away? And how long will it take before its out of her system and shes having normal bowel movements?

Answer
Fish oil sits on the top of the stomach and it can cause vomiting and diarrhea. I always use Coconut Oil. It mixes in the stomach. Start out by giving her 1/4 teaspoon per day since she is so small. As she gets older, you can increase the amount by 1/4 at a time. If she is a small dog you can leave her on 1/4 teaspoon per day or you can go up to 1/2 teaspoon a day. Large breeds can go up to 1 teaspoon a day when they are grown.
It has so many health benefits. It is far better than fish oil.
Check out the below sites for Coconut Oil and dogs. You will see that it helps with numerous things. My dog will lick it off the spoon but sometimes, I will mix it in with his treats that I put in his Kong.
It's easily digested and safe for your dog.

What Are The Benefits Of Coconut Oil?

sobe_merma

I love the smell of it and wanted to know what I can do with it. I have heard is is good for tanning and hair remedies...

Answer
You could consume it

This is coconut oil that is derived from fresh coconuts, not copra, and has not undergone the RBD (refined, bleached, deodorized) process that refined coconut oil derived from copra goes through.

Almost all of the "unrefined" coconut oils on the market being marketed as "Virgin" are produced one of two ways:

1. Quick drying of fresh coconut meat which is then used to press out the oil. Using this method, the coconut meat is quick dried, and the oil is then pressed out via mechanical means.
2. Wet-milling. With this method the oil is extracted from fresh coconut meat without drying first. "Coconut milk" is expressed first by pressing. The oil is then further separated from the water. Methods which can be used to separate the oil from the water include boiling, fermentation, refrigeration, enzymes and mechanical centrifuge.

Unlike olive oil, there is no world or governing body that sets a standard definition or set of guidelines to classify coconut oil as "virgin." but the Philippines being the largest producer/exporter has recently established a Department of Science and Technology (DOST) governmental standard see: PNS for VCO.

Coconut oil?

What are some benefits of coconut oil? And how is it to be used?

Answer
Coconut oil can be used in salads, and other foods. It can also be used on the skin and hair. It may also help your pie crusts taste and stay together better. Some say that its makeup helps keep you healthy, but those claims are quite difficult to assess.

It is often mentioned to help with various maladies such as diabetes and thyroid deficiency. It does not have any special properties with these problems. It will not increase your metabolism, though it could help you get fat if you eat too much of it.

There have been several medical studies of coconut oil, but these have mostly shown that there is no great benefit. Even the ones paid for by the coconut oil marketers didn't show benefit or were severely compromised.

Incidentally, this stuff should run for about $3 per gallon, and not more than $5/gallon. Many marketers will put it into smaller bottles and sell it for a lot more than that. They will also talk about "extra vigin" or whatever to try to increase the value. Coconut oil does degrade over time (it gets rancid if it is exposed to air for a while), so they will also explain that you must get only the freshest of it.

How is 365 (Whole Foods) 100% Organic, Unrefined, Expeller Pressed Coconut Oil?

Rodriguez1

How is this product compared to other Coconut oil. It says that it is 100% Organic, Unrefined, Expeller Pressed Coconut Oil. Are the health benefits significantly different from those that are not expeller pressed? What does expeller pressed mean?

Answer
Expeller is a machine that extracts oil from dried coconut. This means that the coconut has to be dried first. It is still unrefined, but it may not be as fresh and potent as the centrifuge produced oil. Hope this helps

How is 365 (Whole Foods) 100% Organic, Unrefined, Expeller Pressed Coconut Oil?

Rodriguez1

Answer
Expeller pressed oil is oil extracted from nuts or seeds by crushing them. These are usually more expensive because it is not a chemical treatment of the product to yield more oil.

Is coconut milk the same thing as coconut oil?

Alex

Does it really matter which you use? I just went to the supermarket today and I couldn't find the oil.

Answer
No, coconut milk and coconut oil are two different products.

Coconut oil is extracted from the coconut "meat". It is an oil which, when cold, appears solid, but when warmed, either on the stove, or else in a warm place, such as an un-airconditioned apartment in the summertime. It can be used in certain dishes as an oil, or in the preparation of natural cosmetics. Some people use straight coconut oil to moisturize their body and facial skin. Coconut oil is usually found in natural food stores.

The term "coconut milk" is often applied to a mixture of the liquid, or juice, from inside the coconut, blended with the "meat" of the coconut. It is whitish in color and has a similar texture to "milk". It can be used as a liquid/flavoring in cooking, drunk on its own as a beverage, or added to other beverages. Commercially, coconut milk is usually found in cans in Asian or Latin American markets, as well as specialty stores, and, sometimes, in the specialty aisles of larger supermarkets. Some Asian stores sell a powder which can be added to water to make coconut milk. Coconut milk can also be made by blending water with dried unsweetened coconut.

is fresh coconut juice good for damage hair?

Anita

Answer
Coconut OIL. You can get a mayonnaise sized jar of it at Walmart in the cooking section for about $6 US.
I mix 1 part overnight leave-in conditioner with 1 part coconut oil (it's solid in the jar, melt the oil in the microwave for 20 seconds, then mix with leave-in (I use Enjoy brand pH balanced leave-ins...can't burn your hair....never leave in any conditioner that's made to rinse out). Work the mixture through your hair, roots to ends....brush through. Hair should look/feel like towel-dried damp hair. If long, braid loosely and sleep in it (protect pillow with towel).
Shampoo out in AM...rinse thoroughly. Super rinse. You will either not need any conditioner, or only a little leave in on the ends when dry. Do this as often as you like...I do 3 X weekly.

Has anybody tried coconut oil on your hair?

Rebecca

I was wondering if any of you have tried coconut oil for your hair and how it worked out if you did? My hair is really dry and has a lot of split ends from heat styling and I wanted to know if it would help with some of the dryness. I've also heard that it helps make your hair grow more? But I don't know if I believe that...
Thanks in advance (:

Answer
HEAT & CHEMICALS are hair's worst enemies. My grandma uses coconut oil to prevent lice from getting in her hair, in Asia, many of us have them. It also made her hair smells like 'stink' and greasy!

Hair products are not made of glue to prevent, reverse, fix hair that's been damaged by heat or chemicals. You get more benefits eating a fresh young coconuts, drink the milk than putting oil on your hair.

There are more hair oil on the shelf now, than 30-40 years ago, and it's because it is a billion dollar business! There are more hair loss now, too, than 30-40 years ago!

There are many hair oil brand out there, man-made oil, none is better than the other. It can very well even harm your hair, even causes hair loss, since you don't know exactly what kind of oil they say it is. In the lab, they add other ingredients that can prevent from spoiling.
Read the labels if they state that it contains like for fish oil supplements: "one or more of the following: Cod, English Whiting, Shark."

It does NOT make hair grow, it does not make hair thicker, it does help keep the hair moisturized, until you wash them again, that's about all it does, they're not glue to fix split ends, prevent, or reverse the damaged hair. Anything else they say on the label, it is to attract your attention. It is a billion dollar business and they do not give money back guarantee for damaged hair or hair loss due to 'abuse'.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of Maharashtra is ready to go on record saying that most manufacturers in the Rs 3,000-crore Indian cosmetics industry are rampantly misleading consumers with tall claims. This affliction goes beyond hair oils. FDA has found that from face creams to soaps and other items of personal care, cosmetics companies are taking the general public for a ride. The industry, of course, sees the whole issue differently.
~ Vogue 2011.

Washing less often, builds the natural oil your hair needs, to get them smoother, shinier, silkier, softer. Man-made products are just temporary, until you wash them again, and at the same time washing off the natural oil your hair NEEDS.

If you've straightened your hair in the past, it may grow slowly or none at all.
Google: "Foods for Healthy Hair"http://www.foodforhealthyhair.com/ http://sg.news.yahoo.com/food-for-healthy-hair.html - or 10 Best Foods for Your Hair.
http://www.channelstv.com/home/2012/07/03/10-best-foods-for-your-hair/
NO MATTER which link you picked, they all suggest the same foods. Your hair may be the fastest-growing tissue in the body but, unlike the skin, it cannot repair itself. That is why getting the right balance of vitamins and proteins is imperative. Don't expect to look like you've stepped out of a hair commercial the day after you've changed your diet. It is likely to take at least three months before you actually see tangible results. Hair is dead, but hair also has electrical energy; the negative charge of damaged hair can lead to flyways and unruly hair.

Growing healthy hair doesn't come from a bottle or pills and hair products do not speed hair growth. Any hair oil, is another form to keep hair moisturized, nothing more. If you're in HS, your hair & nails should be growing normally, and as healthily as possible, since you're eating healthy foods. But when hair isn't growing as fast, it's because they've been tampered with: chemicals, hair straightening, etc. . .

Cutting your split ends yourself, spend 5-10 mins. on a sunny day so you can easily spot them, using a 2" scissors, cut strand by strand, section by section, allowing new growth to take over. Then 2x a year, get a good hair cut. This won't speed things up, but it will make the hair look healthier while it's growing. Even healthy hair like mine get them, due to normal brushing & styling. Hormonal changes can have a big effect on hair.

People giving advice here, should list their sources, and not try to sell you products or show their silky, shiny, soft & smooth healthy hair.

Can I use coconut oil in making my own rosemary oil for my hair?

Can I use it instead of almond oil, jojoba oil, wtvr.
Thanks :D

Answer
yes. Coconut oil is really great for your hair because it makes it healthy and super shiny.

Hair Care: Coconut oil is one of the best natural nutrition for hair. It helps in healthy growth of hair providing them a shinny complexion. Regular massage of the head with coconut oil ensures that your scalp is free of dandruff, lice, and lice eggs, even if your scalp is dry. Coconut oil is extensively used in the Indian sub-continent for hair care. It is an excellent conditioner and helps in the re-growth of damaged hair. It also provides the essential proteins required for nourishing damaged hair. It is therefore used as hair care oil and used in manufacturing various conditioners, and dandruff relief creams. Coconut oil is normally applied topically for hair care

Fat composition in dietary oils compared

Olive oil is higher in monounsaturated fats than other dietary oils, making it more healthy than some. But as a fat, its use should be limited.

By John Russo Jr./Vicus.com

VICUS.COM (18 Oct. 2000) -- The Lyon Diet Heart Study showed that the so-called Mediterranean diet was associated with a lower risk of a second heart attack in people who had a previous myocardial infarction. Other cardiovascular conditions (unstable angina, stroke, heart failure, pulmonary or peripheral embolism) and even hospitalizations for cardiovascular disease were also reduced (de Lorgeril, et al., 1999).
A key component in the Mediterranean diet is olive oil, along with a high consumption of plant-based foods and a low consumption of red meat. According to a recent study (Trichopoulou, et al., 2000), olive oil is more beneficial against cancer than other forms of added lipids.

This study also estimates that up to 25% of the incidence of colorectal cancer (also see Stoneham, et al., 2000), approximately 15% of the incidence of breast cancer, and approximately 10% of the incidence of prostate, pancreas and endometrial cancer could be prevented if the populations of highly developed Western countries could shift to the traditional healthy Mediterranean diet.

The health benefits and characteristics of olive oil are the topic of this article.

The distinct taste and types of olive oil

One of the main reasons to cook with olive oil is to benefit from the flavor it adds. Cooking with olive oil is like cooking with wine. Never use a wine or olive oil that does not taste good to you. An inferior one will leave an aftertaste.

You'll understand the difference if you do a taste test and compare the "pure" to the "extra-virgin" olive oil.

There are many olive oils available. They all share the high level of monounsaturated fats, but differ in other ways. Table 1 provides a summary of the most common types of olive oil.

Olive oil vs. other cooking oils

Fats should contribute no more than 30% of the calories in a diet. The majority of calories from fat should come from monounsaturated fats, as they have been shown to lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol (Kris-Etherton, et al., 1999; Williams, et al., 1999; Aro, et al., 1998).

Polyunsaturated fats should be used in moderation. Saturated fats should be avoided. They come from animal meats, dairy products and tropical oils such as coconut and palm oil. As noted throughout the literature, consumption of saturated fats has been shown to raise LDL cholesterol.

Table 2 shows how olive oil compares with other cooking oils in the percentage of fat from monounsaturated, polyunsaturated and saturated fat.

Benefits and characteristics of extra virgin olive oil

Extra virgin olive oil is a unique dietary lipid, according to Visioli and Galli (2000), in the sense that it is not extracted from seeds by means of solvents. Rather, it is obtained from the whole fruit (drupe), by using the cold-press technique, which does not alter the chemical nature of the drupe or that of the resulting oil.

According to a study published in The Lancet in October 2000 (Owen, et al.), high consumption of extra-virgin olive oils, which are particularly rich in phenolic antioxidants (as well as squalene and oleic acid), should afford considerable protection against cancer (colon, breast, skin), coronary heart disease and aging by inhibiting oxidative stress. It is the unique profile of the phenolic fraction, along with high intakes of squalene and the monounsaturated fatty acid, oleic acid, which are believed to confer the extra-virgin oil's health-promoting properties.

Extra virgin olive oil is graded by acidity. Lower acidity is associated with a higher quality product because acidity affects the taste and the aroma of the oil. Extra virgin olive oils are permitted to have a maximum acidity of 1%, but the top-quality oils tend to have less than 0.5% acidity. Virgin oil, by comparison, can have up to 3% acidity.

Olive oil or pure olive oil, in contrast to extra virgin oil, is chemically treated, heated and filtered to reduce its acidity. Ugo Erasmus, in his book Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill: The Complete Guide to Fats, Oils, Cholesterol and Human Health, notes that this manufacturing process alters an oil's characteristics. In fact, heating during processing or in cooking destroys the beneficial compounds in most oils, including olive oil.

The color of extra virgin olive oil ranges from a pale yellow to bright green. Usually, the deeper the color, the more intense the flavor. It should taste sweet, with a little "edge" to it.

As an additional note, bottling olive oil in plastic can be detrimental to its quality. The oil can capture the chemicals from the plastic and air can seep in, causing rancidity. The ideal packaging for olive oil should be dark glass, which prevents exposure to light, a basic cause of quality deterioration. Olive oil should not be stored in the refrigerator.

Lack of Sleep, Head Aches, and stomach pains?

What in the World Oil Pulling Is and Why You Should Do It
When I oil pull, my skin feels softer. My feet are as soft as they could possibly be. It is really remarkable. I have always had to do these treatments with scrubs and lotions and what-have-you just to have okay feetâbut even if I am not doing constant treatments, when Iâm oil pulling consistently, they are ridiculously soft. My blemishes disappear. My teeth are whiter.

All of the mucous we store in our bodies is removed and I breathe perfectly clearly. Even now when the pollen is everywhere, I have no sign of mucous in my nose or lungs, except in the morning when I spit it out after oil pulling. So what does it mean to pull oil and why do we do it?

WHAT KIND OF OILS?
Any oil will do EXCEPT: Canola (not fit for human consumption), Peanut (contains mold), Soy (contains estrogenic properties) or any oil that is dark.
Expeller Pressed and Cold Pressed are basically the same thing. Pressing the nut or seed without heat. This is also called Unrefined.
Organic if you can get it.
You can use refined oils. You can use olive oil (but it MAY stain your teeth). You can use Safflower Oil from the grocery store. It's FINE.
If you want the greatest benefits, try to use oils that have not been heated. You do absorb the health benefits of the oil.
There have been studies that say that nut and seed oils, even when cold pressed start to oxidize and go rancid immediately. There have been studies on bad radicals and oils. I don't have time but challenge the posters here to do some research on this and post for our edification.
Coconut Oil apparently is not subject to this intense oxidation. It can keep for years without any rancidity. It can be heated to a very high temperature without breaking down. Does anyone have any info on the superiority of coconut vs other oils?
So, there you go. The basics on oil.
Take a tablespoon (or less) of oil.
Gently swish all around your mouth and suck between your teeth.
This is not an olympic event, so don't hurt your jaw swishing! However if you decide to do power swishing, I've heard if firms up jowels....
The oil should thicken and then thin. This can happen anytime.
If it stays thick, do for 20 minutes.
This is not an exact science! Thick, thin, yellow, white. No matter. Just swish it around for as long as you can up to 20 minutes. Spit it out in 3, 5, 7, 10 whatever. Whatever works for you. It the daily content of your saliva that changes it from day to day. It will not always be the same, but do it everyday.
Rinse with warm Sea Salt water to really cleanse and add to the healthy protocol.
Wha La......not too complicated....easy breezy.
There it is in a nutshell. No reason to get too dramatic about it. It's an everyday thing, like brushing your teeth. Change your oil every once in a while. Don't know why this renews the therapy, but it does.

Oil Pulling Cures
Oil Pulling ("OP") is reported to cure: Mouth &, Gum Disease, Stiff Joints, Allergies, Asthma, High Blood Sugar, Constipation, Migraines, Bronchitis, Eczema, Heart, Kidney, Lung Diseases, Leukemia, Arthritis, Meningitis, Insomnia, Menopause (hormonal issues), Cancer, AIDS, Chronic Infections, Varicose Veins, High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Polio, and Cracked Heels. And that's just to start!

Is coconut oil healthy for you?

John B

Answer
Coconut oil is the healthiest vegetable oil ever because of its anti-fungal, antibacterial and anti-viral property. It is widely used in south and southeast asian cuisine and medicine.
coconut oil ma be high in saturated fats. but saturated fats in coconut oil is different from saturated fats from the animals. It is has saturated fat which are called Medium Chain Triglycerides or MCT which is sent to our liver as energy so it doesn't contribute to weight gain. Medium chain fatty acids found in coconut oil also speed up the bodyâs metabolism, burning more calories and promoting weight loss.

coconut oil(virgin) is useful for people who are suffering from certain diseases like skin diseases, hearth diseases, cancers and AIDS. Studies conducted in the Philippines last year showed that coconut oil does indeed reduce the viral load in AIDS patients.

coconut oil is also the best cooking oil because it has very low polyunsaturated fatty acids. most of the vegetable oils like soybean oil and olive oil have healthy chemicals on the but not applicable for cooking because those healthy chemical maybe destroyed by heat and turn into unhealthy chemicals which causes certaind diseases and cancers.

contain omega 6 fatty acids and no omega 3 fatty acids. We need Omega 3 and Omega 6 in our diet but the problem is we get too much omega 6 fatty acids but we we don't get the right amount of omega 3. the ideal ratio should be 1 omega 3 fatty acids to 1-4 omega 6 fatty acids(1-4:1). But modern western diet has average of 1 omega 3 fatty acids and 40 omega 6 fatty acids(1:40). However most of the fats fount in coconut milk are mostly saturated and monounsaturated fats. Unlike commercial vegetable oil which is mostly omega 6 fatty acids. 1 tablespoon of coconut oil contains only 250mg of omega 6. and one cup of coconut milk has 2.5 tablespoon of coconut oil. and it is easily balance by 1 sheet of nori/seaweed which contains 300mg of omega 3 and almost no omega 6.

How should I take coconut oil?

Toni_Baby

I'm tryna take 3 tbl spoons a day. Is it ok to mix it with stuff? I just took it out the jar. It was thick and not good lol...Will I still get the same benefits it has if I mix it with other foods. Like yogurt or something

Answer
How much coconut oil should you take ?

Researchers state that the optimal amount for an adult is between 3 and 4 tablespoons per day. This equates to the amount of medium chain fatty acids a nursing child would consume in one day from mother's milk. It is best to use coconut oil three times a day at meal times. We recommend that you begin with a smaller amount and build up to the recommended dosage if necessary.

Coconut oil is one of the most stable oils you can buy. It does not turn rancid easily. It does not attack your arteries. In fact, coconut oil was one of the foods Weston Price studied in his journeys. He discovered that the coconut was considered, by the local populations, a medicine food. He found that those civilizations that consumed coconut regularly had no knowledge of cancer, heart disease, arthritis, and diabetes.

Letâs take a look at the healing properties of coconut oil:

Coconut oil is antiviral, antifungal (kills yeast too) and antibacterial. It attacks and kills viruses that have a lipid (fatty) coating, such as herpes, HIV, hepatitis C, the flu, and mononucleosis. It kills the bacteria that cause pneumonia, sore throats, dental cavities, urinary tract infections, meningitis, gonorrhea, food poisoning, pneumonia, and many, many more bacterial infections. It kills the fungus/yeast infections that cause candida, ringworm, athletes foot, thrush, jock itch, diaper rash and more.
Coconut oil is called the "low fat" fat. It actually acts like a carbohydrate in that it is quickly broken down in the liver and used as quick energy. It is NOT stored like other fats. It boosts oneâs energy and endurance. Many athletes use it blended into their drinks. It also supports thyroid function and increases your metabolism (great if you want to lose weight).
Coconut oil improves digestion and absorption of fat soluble vitamins, minerals (especially calcium and magnesium), and amino acids. It improves the bodyâs use of blood glucose and improves insulin secretion and absorption (great for type II diabetes). In fact, many diabetics (type I and type II) use it to reduce their symptoms. Oneâs risk of diabetes decreases with regular use of coconuts and coconut oil. And as we already mentioned, cooking with coconut oil does not create any harmful byproducts.
Coconut oil helps the body heal and repair faster. It aids and supports immune function, protecting us from a variety of cancers.
Coconut oil, contrary to much hubbub, is good for your heart. It keeps our blood platelets from sticking together (and causing dangerous clots). Regular users of coconut oils have a much lower chance of atherosclerosis (clogging of the arteries), arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), and strokes. Coconut oil can lower your blood pressure.
Coconut oil is a natural antioxidant. It protects the body from free radical damage and prevents premature aging and degenerative diseases.
Finally, coconut oil is the best massage oil on the planet. What it does to your skin, you simply have to witness. It forms a barrier against infections, softens and moisturizes your skin, and prevents wrinkling, sagging, and age spots. It promotes healthy hair and complexion, protects from any damaging UV rays.

Any recipe ideas with coconut water?

smdiablito

Not to be confused with coconut milk. I realize it's MUCH milder & lighter in flavor, but that should make it go wonderfully with seafood & I'm interested in using it in soup or a light broth. I also heard some have used it to cook rice.

Coconut Seafood Soup with Galanga â Dtom Kah Talay
A Recipe of Kasma Loha-unchit
Recipe Copyright Â© 1995 Kasma Loha-unchit.

Ingredients
A 2 to 3-inch section fresh or frozen Thai galanga, or 6-8 dried pieces (Drawing =>)
2 stalks lemon grass
3 cups rich coconut milk
3 cups water
8 medium-size prawns
1/2 tsp. salt
4-5 whole squid
8-10 mussels in the shell
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 a Dungeness crab, preferably uncooked
8 large sea scallops
1 small onion, quartered and sliced crosswise 1/4 inch thick
3-4 red jalapeno or fresno peppers, to desired hotness, cut in large slivers
4 fresh kaffir lime leaves, thinly slivered
2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced about 1/4 inch thick
4-6 Tbs. fish sauce (nahm bplah), to taste
Juice of 1-2 limes, to desired sourness
1-2 Tbs. palm sugar, to taste
1/4 tsp. freshly ground white pepper
A handful of cilantro leaves or short sprigs
With a sharp knife, slice the galanga root thinly; it is not necessary to peel unless the outside has turned old and brown. Cut and discard the bottom tip of the lemon grass and remove the loose outer leaf or leaves. Slice at a long slanted angle, about an inch apart, all the way up the stalk to near where the grass blade starts. Smash and bruise with the flat side of a cleaver to release the aromatic oils and flavor. Place both galanga and lemon grass in a soup pot.

Spoon as much of the thick cream off the top of the coconut milk as you can and reserve for later use. Add the remaining watery part along with 3 cups of water to the herbs in the pot. Bring to a boil, then simmer covered over low heat for 10-15 minutes.

In the meantime, prepare the seafood and remaining ingredients. Shell and butterfly the prawns. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. salt and a 2 Tbs. of water. Mix well and set aside for about 10 minutes. Then rinse a few times to remove all the salt. Clean the squid, cutting the tube-like body into 3-4 circles about an inch apart. Leave the tentacles whole. Store in cold water until ready to use.

Scrub the mussels to remove any sand and mud from the shells. Cover with cold water with 1/2 tsp. of baking soda added. Pull off the crab legs and claw. Use only the top half of the legs; disjoint the claw in two pieces. Crack each leg and claw piece with the back of a cleaver or heavy knife. Cut the body half into 2-3 pieces. Leave the scallops whole. Prepare the remaining ingredients as indicated above.

When the herbs have simmered sufficiently to draw out their flavors, add the sliced onion, slivered chillies and kaffir lime leaves. Simmer 2-3 more minutes. Then add the mushrooms and reserved coconut cream. Stir well to blend into the broth and season to taste with fish sauce. Bring to a slow boil over medium heat. Drain the mussels and squid. When the soup has just reached the boiling point, add the mussels and crab pieces. Stir. After 15 seconds, stir in the remaining seafood. Add half the lime juice. Stir, then taste; if you wish the soup to be more limy, add more lime juice. Adjust the sour and salty flavors with enough palm sugar t

What is the nutritional value of coconut?

BTriX

Answer
Nutritional Benefits
Young coconuts are considered highly nutritious. One whole coconut has only 140 calories and provides 17% of the RDA for calcium. The total fat content is 3 grams, all saturated. With a zero content of cholesterol, the young coconut has 50 mg sodium, 28 grams of carbohydrate, 2 grams of fiber,15 grams of sugar, and 2 grams of protein.

Mature Coconut: The raw grated meat of a mature coconut has 283 calories and 2.7 grams of protein for 1 cup. For the carb counters, that 1 cup contains 12.2 grams of carbohydrates. The sodium content is low at 16 mg. Coconut is a high fiber food that delivers 7.2 grams for 1 cup of freshly grated meat.

The sticky point of coconut consumption is the fat. That 1 cup of grated coconut packs 26.8 grams of total fat with 23.8 grams saturated which means that it is 80% fat.

Our 1 cup of grated fresh coconut contains a good range of B vitamins except B12, with 21.1 mcg of folic acid and 2.6 mg of vitamin C. Coconut is a good source of minerals with 11.2 mg of calcium, 1.9 mg. of iron, 15.6 mg of magnesium, 285 mg. of potassium, and 0.9 mg. of zinc.

Canned Coconut Cream: A 1-cup measure contains 568 calories, 8 grams protein, and 25 grams of carbohydrate. The fiber content totals 7 grams, while the total fat is 52.5 grams, the saturated fat 46.5 grams. The numbers for fresh coconut cream are a little higher in calories, protein, and fat, but lower in carbs, sodium, and fiber.

Canned coconut cream has a good range of B vitamins except B12, with 42.3 mcg of folic acid and 5.3 mg of vitamin C. A full range of minerals produce 3 mg of calcium, 1

coconut oil?

AboveTheLa

ive recently started to use coconut oil on my skin as a relaxer/moisturizer.
my question, im very concerned about my hair as a male.....and very concious about it. im not bald, have good thick hair. however, i have heard that massaging coconut oil into the scalp is very healthy for the hair. i dont wish to and never have used anything on my hair apart from johnsons baby shampoo, no gel no spray...strictly pure.

Will eating coconut oil by using them to cook my food benefit my hair too?

thanks

Answer
Yes.

Anything that you put into your mouth ultimately comes out in your hair - that is why they can test people for drugs using hair samples. So ingesting the oil instead of massaging it into your scalp will benefit your hair. Vitamin E is also another vitamin that is an "oil" that is good for your hair. You can buy vitamin E in capsules at any drug store.

As a side note - while baby shampoo won't harm your hair in any major way - it is not the best shampoo to use. Reason being, (this is going to be a quick chemistry lesson for you) baby shampoo is created to the same Ph level as your eyes. That is why it can get in a baby's eyes and they won't cry. It doesn't burn. However.. it does burn your hair because your hair is a different ph than your eyes.

If you look at most shampoo bottles they say, "Ph balanced". That means that it is designed to be the same Ph as your hair - it won't dry your hair out. Baby shampoo actually dries your hair out since it's not Ph balanced to your hair.

If you are suffering from dry hair, I can assure you that the johnson's baby shampoo is a major reason for it. Using a Ph balanced shampoo is much better for you.

benefits of coconut oil???

greatachie

What are considered to be the benefits of coconut oil in our skin??

Answer
(m)

Coconut oil is rich in lauric acid, which is known for being anti-viral, antibacterial and anti-fungal. Coconut oil is also being used by thyroid sufferers to increase body metabolism, and to lose weight. Virgin coconut oil is also used for making natural soaps and other health products, as it is one of the healthiest things one can put on their skin.

At one time coconut oil received negative press in the US because of its high level of saturated fat. However, modern research has shown that not all saturated fats are alike and that the fatty acids in coconut oil, the medium chain triglycerides, do not raise serum cholesterol or contribute to heart disease, but are in fact very healthy. Also, some negative studies done on coconut oil in the past was done on hydrogenated coconut oil, which has been altered from its original form. Other studies have clearly shown that traditional Asian cultures that eat significant amounts of coconut in their diet do not suffer from modern diseases seen in western cultures that promote a low-fat diet.

Much research on the nutritional and medicinal benefits on coconut oil has surfaced in recent years. Much of that research has been done by Dr. Mary Enig. Dr. Enig has classified coconuts as a "functional food," which provides health benefits over and beyond the basic nutrients. She has specifically identified lauric acid as a key ingredient in coconut products:

"Approximately 50% of the fatty acids in coconut fat are lauric acid. Lauric acid is a medium chain fatty acid, which has the additional beneficial function of being formed into monolaurin in the human or animal body. Monolaurin is the anti-viral, antibacterial, and antiprotozoal monoglyceride used by the human or animal to destroy lipid coated viruses such as HIV, herpes, cytomegalovirus, influenza, various pathogenic bacteria including listeria monocytogenes and heliobacter pylori, and protozoa such as giardia lamblia. Some studies have also shown some antimicrobial effects of the free lauric acid."

As a "functional food," coconut oil is now being recognized by the medical community as a powerful tool against immune diseases. Several studies have been done on its effectiveness, and much research is currently being done on the incredible nutritional value of pure coconut oil.

Answer
I have several tips that might help you with growing your hair:
-Drink water, yes water helped a lot with my growth. Keeping yourself and your hair hydrated is very important. Try to maintain a healthy diet filled with proteins!
-Biotin pills helps with the growth and strength of you hair, It also benefits your skin and nails! You can find them anywhere like a walmart, GNC, or Walgreen's.
-For shampoo and conditioner, You should try Sulfate-FREE shampoo & conditioner, L'Oreal has a line. But my favorite has to be the Organix line, which you can find anywhere. During my washing process, I shampoo two times, cleansing the hair. Then I condition my hair, leaving it on for at least 5 mins, putting nutrients back into my hair. Then wash it out with cool water. Then once a month, I deep condition my hair, leaving it on for at least 45 mins up to an hour. Then I wash it out with cool water. After, I just apply my oils or my Organix serum (quarter size amount, not a lot). with a wide tooth, I comb my hair down and let it air dry versus applying heat from the blow dryer.
-I get trims ever 2-3 months depending on my split ends.
-AVOID HEAT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
-Natural oils that have helped with the growth and strength of my hair is Extra Virgin Coconut oil and Olive oil. I apply this to my scalp and massage it in for at least 5 minutes. I do this every 1-2 days.

can i use coconut oil as a lubricant?

is it ok to use simple coconut oil as a lubricant in vagina and anus be4 intercourse?does it cause any bacterial infection?

Answer
Coconut oil has many benefits when it comes to the skin - moisturizing, protection from sun, etc. A doctor may know the definitive answer to this, but there are many great lubricants on the market that you may enjoy more.

For intercourse without condoms (of course I am for safe sex, but you may be with a long term trusted partner): Silicone lubricant is best. Look for products that are free of sugar, glycerin and parabens - they cause infections and irritation. It provides plenty of slip and feels great without being sticky. It is also great for play in the water. Not for use with sex toys! Silicone lube breaks down silicone toys.

It is a little more expensive, but requires you to use a smaller amount. It is also preferred by many for condom free anal sex!

For intercourse with condoms and for use with toys go with a water based lubricant. Also, no sugar, glycerin or parabens. It is safe to use with condoms and toys. You may have to reapply a little more often than silicone based lube.

Pink (looove it), Vie, Sliquid, Pjur, O'my, System Jo and Slippery Stuff (great price) are all reputable brands.

Is baby oil safe to use in sex?

Q. Ok, now befor you jump all over this. I DO HAVE KY. I was just use the baby oil to give my GF massages. I was just wondering that if any of the baby oil got inside her vagina if it would do any harm. And If you used it as lube, will it harm her?

And I know that the oil will wreck condoms, but that's not what I'm asking. Just want to know if it will cause any harm.

Thanks.

Answer
if you want to use a oil you can use coconut oil its safe for internal and external use. I put this on my privates daily in the shower (It gets rid of the smell) + girls who do put it inside their vagina report health benefits! no smell, yeast infection gone etc etc. so its very safe. best stuff you can use. plus on your penis it will give you a instant erection, (im a guy). and im not sure why it does this but it does. at my age erections are "rare" but with this oil they happen way to easy (If I had a girlfriend I might find a way to use this). so it will make you "Action" ready and help things "move along" + you can use it as a massage oil to! I shower with the stuff daily I love it! works to kill gems so no smell! anywhere! the oil does not smell or taste like coconut odd but true! it kinda taste like butter. I love it personally. and its 100% safe! for internal or external use. you can eat it, put on privates, shower with it, add to hot food, use it as a cooking oil, its just like "water" in my book. for best results shower with the stuff, use hot water, and oil every where, wash off oil with water then you'll be good to go. you can put the oil in your hair i do! my dandruff is under-control + my hair feels healthy! im gona x86 the soap and shampoo for the rest of my life. you'll love this stuff! make sure jar is "organic" and glass for best results!
Garden of life is the brand I use I tried so many other brands and I always go back to it.
however dr bronners was "kinda" promising but it did taste different. + the jar was way to small.
almost forgot if you eat the oil as you kiss it will work out great as it gets rid of bad breath like 100%
haven't had that in "months" :)

Coconut Oil for Eczema?

*AMY*

Hello! I suffer from atopic and contact dermatitis (aka Eczema) and a coworker suggested I try organic, unrefined coconut oil. I am wondering if anyone who has eczema has had success with this as a treatment? My skin can be VERY reactive and can become inflamed (especially around the eyes) almost immediately when I apply anything except cortisone ointment. I'm worried that I may have a reaction to the Lauric Acid in the oil.

Any thoughts or suggestions you have will be welcomed as I am at my wit's end.

Answer
Hi, you can try one of the natural remedies available on the Internet â some of them do work. For my eczema I use herbal cream by Champori quite successfully. It takes just a couple of weeks to clear the spots and then they stay clear for months on end.
Try it: Champori doesnât need a prescription and comes with money back guarantee so if it doesn't work for you - it's free.
Best,
Gail

Coconut oil making my eczema worse and drier?

I've started using coconut oil for my severe eczema after seeing great reviews about it. After 2 days, it seems that my skin has become extremely dry. It's not flaky like usual, but it seems as if it sucks up the oil very rapidly even though I put more on. Should I keep using it a couple more days or another week or is this a sign that I should stop? And does anyone know why this is happening?

Answer
I prefer olive oil. A lot of other oils are just too light, because my skin is really dry also. I use a Cocoa Butter lotion too though. I put them both on back to back while my skin is still wet from the shower.

Cortizone cream helps with the itching too, if you have that. It's really good with moisturizing and healing dry itchy skin.

Cetaphil also makes a really good skin cream that is really good for dry sensitive skin.

Don't forget to drink lots of water, and take a multivitamiin every day. Helps a lot. I also take an Omega 3/6 pill, and a Vitamin E pill everyday. They are really great for dry skin.

Best of Luck.

Coconut Oil and Dogs?

Lycanthrop

Does anyone add coconut oil to their dogs food? I just started adding some to my Labrador's today - along with the usual Organic Apple Cider Vinegar and a little bit of plain yogurt. If you use it for either yourself, or your dog - do you prefer it solid or liquid? We're testing it out on Brady to see if it helps with his coat, etc. Just looking to see if others use it.
We have used several fish oils for him, but apparently he has an intolerance to fish and chicken - so when we got no results after 3 months, we stopped with the costly fish oil. Usually, ACV and Kelp get the job done - but I've started Coconut oil considering I've heard great things, and it's significantly cheaper than kelp.
Coconut Oil is Liquid at Room Temperature (I Believe above 73 degrees F). You can find that information anywhere. So generally, depending on the temperature of your house - it could be solid of half solid/half liquid. Our Organic Coconut Oil is liquidish right now because it's quite warm in my house (Summer heat). So I just plopped it in the fridge because I like the solid form better.
It took my forever to find Coconut oil to begin with, and the only virgin version I found was flavored and had all this extra stuff in it. So we went with the Organic Coconut Oil. Let me find the link to the company.. (There was a woman at the store the same time as me who works at a Holistic Pet Store and recommended this particular kind - are there any ill side effects from not using Virgin?):
http://www.omeganutrition.com/products-gourmet-coconut.php
He's allergic to chicken and most (if not all) grains. I have the list somewhere, and he's also partially intolerant to potatoes (which was why we were seeing yeast infections - despite the change in grain free diets). I'm switching off of the Orijen onto the INSTINCT Salmon Meal (New formula) Which is grain and potato free, with no chicken. Everything should clear up then - but until it's available in my area, I'm just looking to make him comfortable. He's already shown great improvement - but I just want the best.

Vet wanted to put him on a Hill's Prescription Diet with allergy shots - I said hell no - if he has allergies, he just won't get food with the allergens in it. It took my awhile to find a grain-free food without potato, but hopefully all goes well. Thyroid testing was normal.
Also, the moment I get back from Finland (I'm a high school student going on exchange in two weeks for the next six months) he will be on a raw diet. We tried this some months ago, but just couldn't keep up with it. But the moment I get back - we're on the raw diet. (My mother refuses to feed raw without me doing it, and doesn't want to learn how to properly feed it - therefor, we've been searching for a decent kibble).

Answer
Coconut oil should NOT be liquid all the time. It will solidify at temperatures under 72F. This is normal.

Is there a reason you are using ACV and other things on this dog?
Are there skin issues going on?
If so, have you had the dog to the vet for a diagnosis?
This would be the first thing I would do - find out why my dog is having problems.
Do we have a thyroid issue? Is there some other reason my dog is doing poorly enough that I feel the need to try alternative 'medicine' on him?

Edit: In light of your answers to my questions, I think you are doing just fine with your dog. As of now, I don't know of any reason coconut oil could not be used on your dog. It has not been shown to cause toxicity unlike grapes/raisins.
You seem to be very knowledgeable about your dog's health issues. This is all good.
I have a cat that is allergic to chicken, too. Unfortunately, cats are much more picky eaters than dogs. I have run the gamut of things to feed her. I did try the raw diet - she puked it. She is 14 years old now and I am running out of things to feed her. She eats them for awhile then refuses to eat it anymore. I am at the point of euthanizing her if she refuses to eat the food she is on now.

Help With Coconut Oil Uses?

Ok Hi(: So My grandma heard some people talkinbg about coconut oil and how good it is for your hair, im black and white and have coarse curly "afro" hair. I already know coconut oil has nice effect on hair but instead of buying a coconut oil hair product she bought extra virgin coconut oil FOOD SUPPLEMENT, then when i wasant looking she put it in my hair, after we had an argument over the fact that it was BUTTER and not a hair product. So My question is Does Coconut oil Food Supplement (butter/oil) also double as a hair product?
Also the part she put the butter/oil in was the part that i straighten, now its just greasy and curly and she still thinks its good for me! will it change and look nicer after i shower and restraighten? And Will it have better effect if i use it on the natural part of my hair, or is it just butter
Thanks for the help!(: And God Bless(:

Answer
Yes, coconut oil food supplement does double as a hair product. People from Asia, Africa and the Caribbean have been using coconut oil in their hair for hundreds of years. Did you know that you can mix coconut oil/butter with yogurt and make a natural hair straightener to loosen your curls. I did not believe it until I watched a video about it and tried it myself. You can find the video at the source website below.

Can I use coconut oil for dry hair?

Yani Javon

My hair is straight and dry , itching. I have a lot of hair on my head. I had braids in my hair and I took them and ready to wash my hair but I am wondering what should I do.

Answer
I do not recommend it, your hair produces its natural oil to keep it silky, shiny, soft, & smooth, but when hair is dry and itching, there's a solution for that, too!

"You find people oiling hair every single day, the hair sweats and it doesnât get washed. What do you think happens? It goes limp and becomes thin because it is not breathing,â Shamillah Mohammed, a hairstylist at SUQA, says.

Google: Top 10 causes of hair loss â which of these is causing yours? November 19, 2013 http://health.india.com/beauty/top-10-caâ¦

I had itchy scalp once last year. I went to a dermatologist, but she took a look @ my scalp and found nothing there, but she did said: "whatever you're doing to your hair, you have healthy hair care, continue doing that! You have beautiful hair!" Her hair is brittle because of the hair dye. I have noticed, though, that when I blow dry my hair, the hair dryer was too close to where my itchy scalp was, so I try to make it a little farther than before, and my itchy section of my scalp went away.

Dry scalp skin lacking the protective oil layer, is vulnerable to infections, and easily gets irritated. From the top of the head or hairline skin cells in the form of white dust (dry dandruff) may shed. Common causes of dry flaky scalp are:

1. Frequent hair washing with hot water and aggressive shampoos
2. Holding hair dryer close to the head
3. Cold windy weather in combination with dry air from indoor heating
4. Even the sun is drying and causing skin to get flaky & itchy. Same with hair.

I've always used OTC shampoo for 5 decades, and I've never had problems with itchy scalp or dandruff. I only condition my hair when I was perming & dyeing. I don't use conditioner haven't been since I no longer use chemicals on my hair. I also keep my hair protected from the sun, by wearing a hat or keep them tucked in.

Make sure you massage your scalp well while shampooing, then rinse 5 mins. for the back and tip your head back and rinse 5 mins. for the top. I do that, anyway, but I'll try dh's Head & Shoulders (Dermatologist suggested I should try) and see if that works. I use two towels to dry my hair, by then they're halfway dried. I air dry some or stand by the heater until it's done, then blow dry with hair dryer for 5 mins, concentrating at the roots. I am NOT following the dermatologist' advice using medicated shampoo, because her hair is dry & brittle, and she complimented me because my hair is healthier & nicer than hers, and told me TO CONTINUE whatever it was I was doing. I must be doing something right!
Update as of today: I am now using Garnier (like before) and every other week I use the Aussie (above). My scalp had improved, and have NOT ITCHED.

ANOTHER tips for an itchy, dry scalp, crush up some ibuprofen and mix with shampoo. Then apply directly to scalp using a colorist's brush.
"You're going to use that brush to really work that mixture in," said Kevin Gatto, owner of Verde Salon in Collingswood, New Jersey,
Let that sit for about 2 minutes, then shampoo out.

Coconut Oil is making me lose my hair? (10 points)?

Soullurre

So, I've been getting into this whole oiling the scalp and hair thing but each time I've shaved my head 4 times over some years to "start all over."

I've read numerous of sites about "all oils" and decided to try extra virgin cold pressed coconut oil. I've been ignoring the itching that it causes and rash on my forehead. I thought it was doing me some good but I'm stubborn and have extreme OCD and just keep repeating the same things over and over hoping for a different outcome. :/ Is it possible that it's making my hair thin out. My hair didn't start thinning out in spots til I used it but it's weird. I'm thinning in the front and the sides and some of the back. I take a lot of pictures to see progress and it's just getting worse.

I've tried jojoba oil, shea butter, aloe vera, safflower oil (strange thing it makes my scalp burn), grapeseed oil, avocado oil, sweet almond oil, henna, ayuverdic treatments and oils, essentials oils (but I tend to be allergic to many of those and hates a majority of the smells and also I'm pregnant so I have to stay away from them, anyway).

I'm at wits end and having OCD is making it worse. I shaved my head on May 1, 2013 because I wanted to start over and grow my hair. Long hair runs in my family but again I'm stubborn and tend to obsess over buying a bunch of unneccesary stuff to put on my scalp and hair (mainly just natural oils). :/

My mother tells me to leave my hair alone and just wash and condition it and comb it everyday. But it's like I just want to do more to speed up the growth. And besides I hate my hair texture with a passion. My hair use to be long down to my butt when I was kid but people got a hold of it and ruined and I've been having issues every since.

Please, can someone with knowledge and experience help me out here?
Is it necessary to oil scalp and hair for hair growth?
Am I going insane over constantly putting oils on it trying to speed up growth?

Serious answers please.
BTW, I'm 23. Thick hair but it has thinned with coconut oil. And it's only a couple of centimeters in length, remember I shaved it on May 1.

Answer
It is not necessary to oil your scalp to make your hair grow. It will grow .5 inches every month without oil. If the oil is making you itch and gives you a rash, you may want to see a doctor about that to determine if you are allergic to any of the components that make up the oil, and about the hair loss.

Coconut oil?

luv_figure

What are some benefits of coconut oil? And how is it to be used?

What does virgin coconut oil do to your skin?

Kenya

Answer
Virgin coconut oil feeds skin many health promoting and rejuvenating nutrients. It's best to liberally apply oil and massage thoroughly into skin while applying some pressure. It is a perfect safe moisturizer, Do not remove. Only wipe away surface excess with water and tissues - will not leave face oily looking.

It can quickly heal skin that has been damaged by use of products - many have skin harming and skin sickening ingredients. In one day it will normalize enlarged pores and if consistently and properly used give you a totally blemish free, healthy and radiant skin. Massage will quickly tighten and firm skin and it will look and feel rejuvenated.

Beauty products don't make hair grow. Eating is for growing, how does hair products GROW HAIR, lashes, and make them thicker?

You really are what you eat. If you're eating all the healthy foods from Mother Nature - not made by man or woman or supplements from GNC, your hair, nails, teeth, and the rest of your body will benefit too. You get all your vitamins & minerals from your diet.

There are more hair oil on the shelf now, than 30-40 years ago, and it's because it is a billion dollar business! There are more hair loss now, too, than 30-40 years ago!

There are many hair oil brand out there, man-made oil, none is better than the other. It can very well even harm your hair, even causes hair loss, since you don't know exactly what kind of oil they say it is. In the lab, they add other ingredients that can prevent from spoiling.

It does NOT make hair grow, it does not make hair thicker, it does help keep the hair moisturized, until you wash them again, that's about all it does, they're not glue to fix split ends, prevent, or reverse the damaged hair. Anything else they say on the label, it is to attract your attention. It is a billion dollar business and they do not give money back guarantee for damaged hair or hair loss due to 'abuse'.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of Maharashtra is ready to go on record saying that most manufacturers in the Rs 3,000-crore Indian cosmetics industry are rampantly misleading consumers with tall claims. This affliction goes beyond hair oils. FDA has found that from face creams to soaps and other items of personal care, cosmetics companies are taking the general public for a ride. The industry, of course, sees the whole issue differently.

Google: "Foods for Healthy Hair" - Your hair may be the fastest-growing tissue in the body but, unlike the skin, it cannot repair itself. That is why getting the right balance of vitamins and proteins is imperative. Don't expect to look like you've stepped out of a hair commercial the day after you've changed your diet. It is likely to take at least three months before you actually see tangible results.

Growing healthy hair doesn't come from a bottle or pills and hair products do not speed hair growth. Any hair oil, is another form to keep hair moisturized, nothing more. If you're in HS, your hair & nails should be growing normally, and as healthily as possible, since you're eating healthy foods. But when hair isn't growing as fast, it's because they've been tampered with: chemicals, hair straightening, etc. .

I found my first gray hair?

Last year I found my first gray hair. I would think it was normal if I wasn't thirteen at the time. Of course I am fourteen now and I am finding more gray hairs. Can this possibly be genetic? My mother has a full head of white hair (which she dyes black) and she is still young. She told me she started getting a bunch of gray hairs when she was just seventeen. I don't mind the gray hair I actually think it's beautiful and represents wisdom. I would like to know if this is possibly genetic. Any help would be appreciated thanks.
Umm I didn't ask for ways to stop it I asked if it was possibly genetic..

How can I stop early greying of hair?

anupink17

I am only 17 but some of my hair has already turned gray.I don't want to try hair colouring since they contain chemicals.What natural home remedies do you suggest?Is there any special diet you recommend to arrest the further graying of hair?

Answer
read this:

PREMATURE GREYING - by Editor

Have you started seeing the first strands of grey in your hair? Here?s what you can do to prevent further greying.

What can I eat to prevent premature greying?

Eating seafood is possibly one of the best things you can eat to promote all-over hair health. It is rich in zinc, iodine and protein, which are excellent for the hair. So if you enjoy seafood, make it a point to have fish several times a week. Remember that eating canned fish will not give you the same benefits as eating freshly cooked fish. If you don?t eat fish, consider fish-oil supplements.

Iron is good for hair and is found in dark green vegetables, meat and some pulses. If you are unsure about whether you are getting enough iron, include an iron supplement every once in a while in your diet. Remember that too many iron supplements can be bad for you. Women lose iron while menstruating, so perhaps during or after your cycle you can have iron-fortified supplements for a few days.

Eating foods rich in Vitamins B and C will ensure that your hair stays strong, does not break easily, and does not grey early. Pork, vegetables, whole grains, wheat germ, soymilk are all rich sources of Vitamin B, while citrus fruits are excellent sources of Vitamin C. Eating adequate Vitamin C helps increase absorption of iron. Try and have a glass of orange juice daily.

Your hair will never be healthy if you do not drink enough water. Drink at least eight to ten glasses a day.

What oil can I apply to my hair?

Rosemary oil is believed to gradually darken grey hair over a period of time. Soak rosemary leaves along with a few basil (tulsi) leaves, in jojoba oil, for a period of four weeks. Massage your scalp and hair with this oil (after warming it up).

Most oils are not easily absorbed by the hair, which is why you need to leave oil on for at least forty-five minutes. It helps greatly if you steam your hair after applying oil.

Boil dried amla pieces in coconut oil until the pieces turn black and the oil darkens. Apply this oil to the hair. It strengthens hair and prevents greying.

Boil tealeaves in water and rinse your hair with this liquid 20-30 times. Then, leave on for 15-20 minutes before the final rinse.

What else can I do to promote hair health and delay greying?
