Coconut Oil UsesManaging head lice or nitsHead Lice can be eradicated from hair with coconut oil using the following method: 1st treatment If lice are visible in the hair permeate the hair with approximately 5mls of melted coconut oil rubbing it into the roots before bedtime. Place a towel on the pillow and the next morning shampoo the hair. By this time all the live nits will have been suffocated and all the eggs will have absorbed oil and become soft and soggy. Following treatments: Part the hair down the middle then dip your finger in melted coconut oil and dab a few drops of oil down the part on the scalp and one or two drops in the roots above the ears. After 12 hours the drops of oil will have spread through the hair and any new nits that may have hatched will find it unbearable. This treatment only needs to be carried out once every two or three days. The nit incubation cycle is about 17 days so treatment may be kept up for about 3 weeks to ensure any newly hatched nits will also die. As coconut oil is a natural good smelling hair oil the oil conditions the hair as well as displacing the nits. Hair OilCoconut oil is a natural hair oil which is regularly used in tropics around the world for hair oil. Freshly grated coconut meal is also squeezed through hair and used as a conditioner after washing and it works very well. It stimulates hair growth and can be used as a dandruff treatment. Apply as a hair conditioner an hour before shampooing. Sunburn cureThought you might be interested in my recent experience. I stupidly let myself get badly sunburned and in desperation applied your coconut oil to the reddened areas. To my relief the sun burn healed really quickly without blisters or peeling. I'm not planning to let myself get so burned again but if it does happen I know what I'll do! Dietary SupplementAssists with weight control. Take a spoonful 30 minutes before a meal.

Toothpaste:Anyway, about 2-3 weeks ago I changed toothpaste. As Bruce suggested in his book, I stirred together some baking soda and some VCO. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it didn't stimulate my appetite, which I had been concerned about. It also felt quite clean. A few days ago I looked in the mirror and realized that the mottling on my front teeth had disappeared. They are very shining and white, and they look thicker and harder. Only the chipped portion in one corner is thinned out. I'm not sure if my eyes are deceiving me, or if the chipped portion is actually getting smaller by increments as well - i.e., if new enamel is growing. Is it conceivably possible for new tooth enamel to grow that quickly? I would be stunned if it were, but on the other hand, that is definitely what it looks like.
Make your Own Mix approximately equal parts Virgin Coconut Oil, Bicarb-Soda and Water in a small jar. (A dessert spoon of each is a good start). The water makes it more like a paste in cooler climates. Vary the quantity of water to change the consistency. To hasten up the process cool it in the fridge and then stir it again.
