Thinking About Coconut Oil...

Wow, I have been so quiet on this blog!  I feel I owe you an explanation, even if it is a little weak.  Most of my day is scheduled with homeschooling my two oldest children in high school classes.  Once I cook dinner and we eat, I am just too tired to blog much of the time!  Not to mention the fact that we have slow internet here which sometimes is just impossible to use.  But I am still here!

I have been thinking about posting about coconut oil.  Many of you may have heard of coconut oil and may know about it for cooking (if you don't, it is so good for you)!  When I placed my first order from Tropical Traditions they sent me a book that is full of testimonies about the health benefits of coconut oil.  It is amazing!

Now I have my own testimony to share with you.  For a long time I had something on my leg- either a skin tag or a wart, I don't know.  But every time I would shave I would nick it & it would get bigger.  Eventually it was nearly the size of a small pencil eraser & dark in color.  Sometime last year I started using coconut oil exclusively as my lotion for my skin.  Time went by and then one day I realized something- my bump on my leg was getting smaller!  It continued to get smaller and now I can tell you that bump on my leg is completely gone without a trace & I am sure it was the coconut oil.  If it was a wart maybe it was the antiviral properties of the coconut oil, I really don't know, but I wanted to share this testimony with you.

Now I just realized I have two skin tags on my neck (which I hate) so I am going to start applying coconut oil to them & see if they don't pack their bags & git!  I'll let you know!

Here are a couple of other websites that I recently saw talking about using coconut oil:
