You may think you know everything about using VCO, but since it is considered to be the healthiest oil on earth, there seems to be no limit to its uses. You may be surprise to know that you can use VCO as a remedy for some condition that you never thought possible. Check out the list below and you might discover new ways on how you can benefit from this oil that is a wonderful gift from nature:

A First Aid For Nose Bleed. Virgin coconut oil can prevent nose bleeding that is caused by sensitivity to weather such as extreme hotness and extreme coldness. This condition happens when the nasal passages become dry because of cold or dry air resulting to burns and cracks in the mucus membranes so bleeding happens. To prevent this just put coconut oil in you nostrils. Coat your finger with coconut oil and then lie down and coat your finger inside your nose. Doing this will strengthen and protect the capillaries in the nasal passages. A Vitamin C supplement will also help prevent nose bleeding.

Fight Malnutrition. If you or your child is suffering from malnutrition, you can use VCO in preparing your food. Using coconut oil in cooking (e.g. coconut oil in oatmeal or porridge) will help one gain proper weight. It would also help if you would pair it with vitamin supplements and eating a balanced diet. The diet should have lots of fruits and vegetables and junk food should be avoided. Eating fresh coconut and drinking coconut water and milk is also recommended. Regular dosage of VCO is also a must.*

Shoo Insects Away. If you hate insect bites and stings, you can use coconut oil instead of insect repellants available in the market. Just combine coconut oil with peppermint oil and apply it on exposed skin.

Cure Asthma. As a relief to asthma, try this remedy. For every 50 pounds of body weight, drink at least 1 quart water. The daily diet should contain 1 to 2 tablespoon of sea salt. Rub VCO on the chest, back, neck and shoulder two times a day. Regular intake of VCO is also a must.*

Helps in Breastfeeding. To succeed in breastfeeding, mothers should eat a healthy diet. Eating coconut products and regular intake of coconut oil can help enrich the milk production. The recommended dosage is 3 ½ tablespoons of VCO a day. Do this before giving birth and while nursing.
