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.
