There are literally hundreds of expensive moisturizing products being touted as the solution to the dryness and aging dilemma, but as usual, Mother Nature outshines them all. It is now being revealed how one product can help balance the body, both inside and out. Now an inexpensive virgin coconut oil for skin can do all this, and more.
Most oily moisturizers are petroleum-based, carcinogenic, and actually clog pores resulting in acne. While this product might feel a bit oily at first, it is absorbed rapidly through the pores. Unlike the cancer-causing petroleum products, this actually improves the complexion as it lifts and tones the face.
Water-based lotions, moisturizers, and conditioners only provide a benefit until the water in the product evaporates. Once evaporation takes place, there is no more moisturizing going on. Everyone knows how over-hyped some of these expensive products are.
Asian women have known for centuries about the benefits of such oils. The secret has been long held, as this part of the world tends to stay fairly sequestered from Western society. In recent years more and more Western Europeans and Americans have been travelling abroad, and have discovered the benefits of oils which imbue the hair with moisture, and soak into the body, fully moisturizing from head to toe.
These Asian women utilize this as a food source as well, having made many stir-fry dishes in this way over many centuries. Western medical doctors will warn against using it as a base food or ingesting it in large amounts, but the fact is, nothing should ever be ingested on its own in large amounts. An acceptable use in stir-fry, on salads, and added to tea can help balance blood sugars, increase metabolism, and maintain the body in a healthy alkaline pH balance.
When consumed, one should seek out the raw and unprocessed product. Hydrogenation, the adding or removing of a hydrogen molecule, bleaching, and adding fragrances all alter the product molecularly, and thus alter the effects it can have for the body. Seeking out an organic version will also help guarantee that it has been created without the so-called assistance of genetically modified organisms.
The purchasing of only the raw and unprocessed version is especially important when using this as a food additive. When this product is bleached or a fragrance is added, it can actually do damage to the liver. These bleaching agents and fragrances added are chemicals that are foreign to the human body, and may not digest if they do not constitute being a true food product that is metabolized.
This is a product where a small amount does go a long way, and this means it can be a real money saver. An amount smaller than a teaspoon is all one will need to moisturize the entire body, as well as a medium-to-long mane of hair. The extra virgin, organic product can replace most, if not all, moisturizers and conditioners currently being used.
