While coconut oil is excellent for internal use, it is equally beneficial for external use thanks to its moisturizing and antiseptic properties:
Skin: It is not completely hydrophobic, which allows it to penetrate the epidermis and retain moisture. It is effective in soothing eczema, psoriasis, and skin inflammations. It is even used in hospitals to massage premature babies.
Hair: It has a strong affinity with keratin, nourishing the hair fiber deeply.
Oral sphere: The traditional Ayurvedic technique of “Oil Pulling” (oil mouthwash) helps to cleanse the mouth, reduce dental plaque and fight against cavities thanks to the antibacterial action of lauric acid.
How to integrate it into daily life?
To benefit from its virtues without unbalancing your diet, the expert recommends not exceeding 20 to 25 grams per day (about 2 level tablespoons) for a healthy person, in order to respect the recommendations on saturated fatty acids.
In practice:
Use it for pan cooking, as it withstands heat better than most vegetable oils.
Replace some of the butter in your breakfast or baked goods.
Don’t consume only coconut oil. It should be used in conjunction with other sources of lipids such as olive or rapeseed oil for a balanced intake of omega-3 and 9.
In short, coconut oil is neither a universal miracle cure nor the poison it has long been portrayed as. It is a valuable nutritional resource, particularly well-suited to supporting energy metabolism and brain health, provided it is used wisely.
