If you ever have dry skin, a tiny bit of CO will melt right into your skin--prevent infection, stop itching, relieves pain of eczema, etc. etc. etc.
Also, it helps cure cold sores. Just a tiny bit once a day.

A couple of "confessions"
I have tried a bunch of times on cold sores, it does NOTHING for mine -- I gave up after day 4 or 5 and used my homeopathic remedy which cleared it right up.
For me, coconut oil was totally a "acquired taste". I can't eat it plain, can't eat it with eggs and can't tolerate it on toast (instead of butter - we are dairy free). It took a long time for me to manage to eat it when it wasn't cooked
Now I can tolerate it in dehydrated cookies and in almost all of our baked goods as well as over popcorn
I can also enjoy it in lukewarm tea (like lisa said don't want to destroy all its properties
I want to try it plain but am afraid cuz the smell makes my stomach turn
I was thinking of trying it in smoothies but think it would be chunky
I do LOVE it on my skin but it didn't help with dh's fungal rashes or with savana's skin rashes. For savana only plain aloe helped. I don't know why it was like this for us. Maybe my oil was too old by the time I tried it on these things. Now that I go through a gallon every 3rd month or so, it would be stronger.
I also use Nutiva. I was actually going to email CLNF to find out their brand good to know about the tropical traditions - I am so picky about this coconut oil thing that I probably shouldn't change brands EVER
.
Only posting this to be honest and maybe figure out what I am doing wrong that it's not working on cold sores, fungal infections, etc.
