Virgin Coconut Oil as an Effective Eczema Treatment

Coconuts are commonly found in the tropics. It is the source of virgin coconut oil which is hailed for its medicinal properties, including as an effective eczema treatment. Read on to find out more.

Are you looking for an effective eczema treatment that does not have any side effects that you experience from using some expensive medications?

There was a time that people steered clear of coconut oil. Because it contained high levels of saturated fat, it was erroneously tagged as unhealthy.

Researches later on, however, revealed that saturated fats are healthy; it is trans fats that is described as “bad” fats. 

Coconuts are commonly found in the tropics. It is the source of virgin coconut oil which is hailed for its medicinal properties, including as an effective eczema treatment.

What makes coconuts medicinal is its high medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA) content, which is noted for its ability to prevent heart disease and for lowering the risk of atheroscleroris.

Aside from that, MCFA also aids in treating the damaged skin as it enters the cell structures of our connective tissues. Because of this, it is widely celebrated as an excellent and organic way of treating eczema as well as other skin disorder.

MCFA serves as a protection of our skin, thus, preventing us from developing skin infections caused by bacteria and other organism. It is advisable for us to apply coconut oil since ordinary soap washes off the acid that serves as our skin’s protective layer.

There are different types of coconut oil products available in the market today. For the best results, you should either choose the organic coconut oil, or the virgin coconut oil.

Ordinary coconut oil is not recommended because it comes from copra, or sun-dried meat of the coconut which are exposed to the air as well as to insects and molds.

Copra is usually processed to make refined, bleached and deodorized coconut oil with the use of intense heat and chemicals.

Another thing that separates the virgin variety from the ordinary coconut oil is that the former smells fragrant while the latter does not.

Aside from lathering your skin with virgin coconut oil, you can also incorporate this into your diet using any of the suggested recipes below.

There are lots of information found about the coconut oil, there are now cookbooks written for its use as a key ingredient in recipes. As an Asian living near the Tropics, I have been brought up eating food that makes use of the coconut.

My all time favorite is the Coconut Rice. We cook this, with other accompanying dishes, every time we have guests from other parts of the world coming over for dinner.
