Coconut oil has a lot of benefits than one could think of. I could attest to it as I had personally used it. First of all, its monounsaturated, unlike most plant oils. It means among other things, it is easily digestible.

Google and you can find a host of its benefits. I had used an organic brand from Natures Farm and eat from spoon just like I would when taking cough syrup. It taste wonderful. The lauric acid components in coconut oil helped to kill fungus in the guts that caused candida and other problem.
Try it!

R u still using it?

Taropie:

I'm using it for my skin as a moisturizer now.

Thank you for the reply.

I have heard of this product but have not used it myself. There are many causes to pimples or eczema. You may want to get a skin doctor to diagnose rather than get something from the counter.

On personal level, I have skin contact dermatitis problem, where anything from garlic to hair could irritate my skin. And I had ezcema when I was living in Scotland where the weather was cold. All I did was a lot of moisturizing and it helped.

Two of my favourite moisturizers currently to minimize my skin problem whenever I get the attack are Aloe Vera Gel and Emu Oil Cream. Good grade Aloe Vera Gel contains 96% water which helps to soothe and moisturize. Emu Oil Cream may be new to you but it has been used extensively by the Australians as its mostly produced there. The main component is actually Emu(bird) fat that is found in their skin. It has anti fungal properties and a natural pain killer too. I had used the oil(100% grade) to manage my shoulders' muscles pain back in 2008.

Currently, I am using the cream only. The oil is rather expensive and I would only buy it when necessary. Aloe Vera gel, on the other hand is affordable. You could get it from Watsons or even Guardian.

my ds suffered fr. eczema fr 2yrs.We bot a lot of lotion,cleanser to try on,brought him to see dermatologist.but no cure…I was very depressed.


After i took over him fr my MIL,i started to take care of him totally when he was P1,his eczema cured within half a yr.Other than kept applying lotion,i make sure his diet is balance,i cook every single meals,no outside food.Minimize artificial colouring,msg…etc…I also add more vitamin e into diet such as flaxseed.

my mil cooked the same old food(brocolli)n didn’t feed him enuff fruits.I think she also add MSG into soup.

perhaps it is good to review ur children diet n make necessary adjustment.I feel most skin disease is caused by improper diet n lifestyle.To boost immunity might help.
