Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is often referred to as a miracle in a jar.

The health benefits from coconut oil for us and our pets, is amazing!  We have been using it for many years, it is our favorite oil!  The dogs LOVE it too!  It is so good for them!

The health benefits come from the medium-chain triglycerides that are found in the oil.  Biochemist and dietary fats researcher Mary Enig, PhD says, “The lauric acid in coconut oil is used by the body to make the same disease-fighting fatty acid derivative monolaurin that babies make from the lauric acid they get from their mothers’ milk. The monoglyceride monolaurin is the substance that keeps infants from getting viral, bacterial, or protozoal infections.”

How amazing is that??

Below are just some of the health benefits for you and your pet!!

It is good for the thyroid, can prevent diabetes, lowers the risk of cancer and is good for arthritis.  It improves digestion and helps with any digestive problems.  Your dog will have a beautiful coat and healthy skin and you will have beautiful hair and skin.  It is for yeast and fungal infections too.  It increases energy, it balances metabolism and gets or keeps your or your pet, at a healthy weight!  It is even for brain health!!!

Wow, love this stuff!  

I keep a jar of it in the bathroom cupboard, it is used for everything!  It is my body lotion and it is my make up remover!  I put some in my bath water to keep my skin soft!

We buy this is in a 5 gallon pail and keep some by the stove.  It is the only oil we cook or bake with.  Olive oil is the oil for salads!  We fry our eggs in this, do stir fries in it and fry our potatoes in it!

This is the oil I like for my dogs health because it is safer to store than the fish oils and it has the same amazing benefits!  Fish oils go rancid so quickly and you cannot tell by smelling them.  Flax oil is not in the right balance but coconut oil is perfect and so easy to use!!

You may already have some in your kitchen!
