See Coconut – cold pressed virgin coconut oil is the first pressing of the dried white flesh of the coconut. Along with Ghee it is the preferred oil for cooking as it does not oxidises as easily as most other oils. It can take high heat without breaking down. It is very nourishing and cooling, and great for the skin and especially for newborn babies as a daily massage oil.

It is wonderful for dental hygiene as ‘oil pulling’- take a tablespoon or two in the mouth and hold it in the mouth for 15+ minutes. It is not necessary to ‘swill’ it around except at the end before spitting it out. It draw out the saliva and detoxes the blood. The mixture of oil and saliva protects and whitens the teeth. An ancient practice and daily routine for good health.
