I never realized how very versatile coconuts really are!  I do like to cook with virgin cocnut oil. Thanks for the tips Heather, and yes they did use coconut oil in the hair for uku (head lice) prevention. It was mainly used to keep the lice from attaching to the hair shaft, a lot of young kids, especially with long hair will have coconut oil in their hair when there is an outbreak at school. Not sure how well it works though. :) Another great post by Jim! I never realized how very versatile coconuts really are!  I do like to cook with virgin cocnut oil.

As a body scrub, you can mix 1 tsp of coconut oil with brown sugar for a great skin exfoliant. Also, for the hair, my mother said in the early days before RID, to get rid of head lice, they would have to put gasoline on their hair.  To then get rid of the smell, they would rub coconut oil in it.  She said, that's why plenty island girls had sweet smelling hair; Whether that was true or not, I'm not sure BUT you can use it for dry, damaged hair. By coconut oil that is virgin, warm it and add essential oils: Add essential oils to enhance the coconut oil treatment. A couple of drops of rosemary, neem, tea or cedarwood essential oil added to the treatment will help fight dandruff and encourage hair growth. A few drops of lavender and geranium essential oils added to the coconut oil will nourish dry hair and also have an added bonus of being a soothing and stress relieving treatment. Work into the hair and leave in for a few hours or overnight. Yes Coconut oil is also very good for your skin & hair used sparingly.

There's a perfectly good reason why the coconut palm tree (Cocos nucifera Linn) is called, The Tree of Life. As evident in your post, every part or component of this humble tropical tree is beneficial to humankind. :-) Cheers, CoconutOilGuy http://www.coconut-oil-central.com Your Drugstore in a Bottle Hello Jim!

Now I live in Mililani and coconut trees are not a common thing. Kinda like the beach, you have to search it out to get to it. Well the cold coconut juice at the swap meet is a great refreshment, expensive though. I had 6 coconut trees in my yard growing up in Laie.
