Coconut Oil -Healthy Oil From The Tree Of Life
Coconut Oil Miracle
The palm tree has a long history of providing man with useful materials for his daily life.
None is more important than the oils obtained from the palm nut.Coconut and palm kernel
oils were recognized as healthy oils in Ayurvedic medicine almost 4000 years ago. Over the last few years, we have witnessed coconut oil make a serious comeback, from once being a feared fat to now being the superfood darling of the health-conscious world. More and more people are discovering the amazing benefits of this tropical oil, using it for everything from dry skin to weight loss. The same health effects were also found in Sanskrit medicine for mother's milk.
Mention was made that freshly expressed human milk was adopted as an
"antibiotic" after eye surgery. Modern research has now found a common link between these two natural health products—their fat or lipid content. The studies indicated that the fatty acids and monoglycerides found in these two natural products had extraordinary antimicrobial properties.The medium chain fatty acids and monoglycerides found primarily in these two tropical oils and mother's milk have miraculous healing power. It is rare in the history of medicine to find substances that have such useful properties and still be without toxicity or even harmful side effects. Does coconut oil kill viruses?
When coconut oil is consumed, the body makes the disease-fighting monolaurin,
the monoglyceride of lauric acid. Monolaurin is used for preventing and treating colds (the common cold), flu (influenza), swine flu, herpes, shingles, and other infections. It is also used to treat chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and to boost the immune system. Monolaurin is many times more effective than lauric acid at killing viruses and bacteria; however, researchers aren't sure exactly how it's formed in the human body. Lauric acid can be ingested in coconut oil and your body will convert it into monolaurin. It kills bacteria and viruses. Some internet sites claim coconut oil can kill viruses, fungi and bacteria due to its content of monolaurin, a compound derived from lauric acid. These properties in coconut oil could support its benefits as a surface moisturiser or make-up remover.
Coconut oil owes much of its immunity-bolstering power to two bioactive fatty acids – |
