| I love organic coconut oil and use it a lot on my skin. Love the non-food uses suggested in one of your links. I'm going to try some of those. My dad has developed thin skin in old age and is prone to scratches and scrapes. I've convinced him to use coconut oil instead of neosporin (which I don't want the dogs licking either). His minor wounds heal really fast with no scarring now.

| I bought a jar of Coco Therapy Coconut Oil for Halo, but I use it too. Put a small amount in your hand, let it melt and Halo licks it out of my hand. (Smells like an Almond Joy but tastes like coconut) It's really good for dogs. No trans fat. I also use it on my skin & hair as well as her coat. I rub it in my hand (just a little bit) and then her coat after a bath. Her coat is very silky and shiny. It's also good for hot spots, itchy skin, paws & speeds healing. Buy the organic virgin, great stuff !! |

| There was a thread about uses for coconut oil a few months ago here and I was amazed to hear about it all. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...conut-oil.html Thanks for posting more info about it, I must try some of these things. I'm especially interested in oil pulling for dental health which was mentioned in the other thread. I'm hearing more about it on tv, Dr. Oz and such.

| I buy the large economy size at Costco. It is great for dry skin in the winter and I have been trying to convince my sister to try it on her psoriasis. Thanks for the links.

| Not all coconut oil is equal in quality the way it was processed has a huge impact on the this and the health benefits. This page explains some of this.... What is Virgin Coconut Oil?

| Sounds like it was too warm and it liquified?
