Sore throats! How Coconut Oil may help.

Beat Sore Throats. How Virgin Coconut Oil may drive sore throats away!

Coconut Oil | Virgin Coconut Oil

The internet is full of claims about the health benefits of Virgin Coconut Oil. We won’t go over them here. But we will say this. Our family has successfully used Virgin Coconut Oil to drive away sore throats with ease. That is our personal experience, and we’d like to invite you to consider the options for yourself.

  • Place Virgin Coconut Oil on your throat and leave it here
  • Use it for cooking (it is saturated fat, just like butter)
  • Use it for Oil Pulling (Oil Swishing)
  • Oil Pulling with a drop of your Essential Oil (one you can use in your mouth)

How do you do Oil Pulling?

We have published a post on the topic of Oil Pulling before. It is also mentioned in booklets we’ve published.

Virgin Coconut Oil – Oil Pulling

The process of placing Virgin Coconut Oil in your mouth. It will melt there.  Hold it there for a time, at the front of your mouth. Then start to swish it around in your mouth, then hold it for a while, etc.
 
Some people can last but a few moments. Others make it last a while.
The goal is continuous swishing in one or more sessions for up to 15-20 minutes. It does not have to be one time in that period only.
 
You spit it out, without swallowing it.
 
That is the process.

What can you expect to feel in your mouth?

Eventually, you can expect phlegm to break loose from the back of your throat, and this is to be welcomed. Brave souls keep swishing… others spit out and start over.

Keep up the process of doing oil pulling several times a day, or twice a day, whatever suits. But it has worked in providing symptomatic relief to sore throats for us, and it may do so for you.

Where can you buy Virgin Coconut Oil from in New Zealand?

Dry Skin – Pointers For Milk Relief Soap Users

Dry Skin – pointers for users of Milk Relief Soap
boxed oval bar of Milk Relief Soap™ (70 g) and a small jar of Green Gear Balm (30 ml).

Above is Milk Relief Soap™ in the Dry Skin Combo product at Coconut Oil Shop’s www.ShySheep.com

I’ll uncover a word of caution we sent to a client. I thought you may like to read it too.

What we find from experience is that some customers can get very enthusiastic at the start and overuse the soap which could result in drier skin, especially if they stop using their normal cream/moisturiser suddenly.

It is true that a lot of people can get away with not putting any moisturiser on after a wash with Milk Relief Soap™; however, Milk Relief Soap™ is a soap purely created for washing skin effectively without irritating sensitive skin, so a moisturiser is still needed if your skin is very dry.

A very good moisturiser we recommend is pure virgin coconut oil. Coconut oil is naturally anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-microbial, so it will help if your skin is breaking out.

Pointers about Virgin Coconut Oil and skin

The key with coconut oil is to use a small amount often, as it is absorbed into skin very quickly. Also to avoid getting it into eyes.

If you already have the moisturiser that works well for you and you like, you should continue to use it as needed.

Sometimes the skin seems to get worse for a time but improves thereafter, after Milk Relief Soap™ has had a chance to take effect. (At least a week.)

Please understand that we are not able to give any medical/therapeutic advice, so what we’ve stated above is for reference only.

Introducing another product we developed for skin

Lano Relief Skin Stick™
Pure NZ Lanolin + Manuka Oil at your fingertips, without the gooey mess or unpleasant smell!

Solid skin balm with Pure New Zealand Lanolin.

  • Breastfeeding care
  • Dry skin care
  • Cracked skin care

Net 13g approx. This unique skin stick comes in a small oval tube, like a mini deodorant stick. Ideal size for your pocket or handbag. A skin stick is also sometimes referred to as solid moisturiser or hard lotion.

Lanolin comes from sheep’s wool. It’s the natural oil that coats sheep’s wool and helps the sheep to keep dry when it rains. It is completely sustainable, as the wool grows back quickly. You can learn more here, at ShySheep.com

Whole Wheat Coconut Oil Oatmeal Cookies add some texture variety and interest with oatmeal fibre

What can you expect to be different with these biscuits?

When I think of bought chocolate chip biscuits, I think of Cookie Bear, and those rather hard chocolate chip biscuits. (I was given a Cookie Bear when I was 5 years old).

A key difference with these biscuits, the oatmeal adds a little chew to their inner core. Then the Coconut Oil adds some crisp to the outside of them.

So these cookies provide you with a balance of:

  • chewy centre
  • crispy outer

Crunchy Oat Coconut Biscuits by Marie Nicasi

Crunchy Oat Coconut Biscuits

CRUNCHY OAT COCONUT BISCUITS

Crunchy Oat Coconut Biscuits made with Oil, Oats, Desiccated Coconut and Coconut Flour if desired.

Our Coconut Resort Blog reader Marie Nicasi has shared with her Crunchy Oat Coconut Biscuits recipe. Let me highlight one amazing thing about this recipe. It has Desiccated Coconut in it, but you may add Coconut Flour instead of some of the Desiccated.

Up to 1 cup of Coconut Flour can be added to these biscuits.

So clearly these biscuits are designed with fibre in mind. Dietary fibre is important for gut health.

Fibre in your diet helps to:

  • cleans the tubes
  • clears the system
  • keeps you regular

Our Coconut Flour is up to 38% fibre, and contributes very little Coconut taste to food.

[gmc_recipe 12866]

Water tips

Here is a tip I’d like to reiterate. Our Gold Sprinkle Raw Organic Desiccated Coconut is full oil. It is not defatted. That will impact on the amount of water you may require, compared with using a cheap, defatted Desiccated Coconut, which may require more water.

Also, if you choose to substitute some of the desiccated with our Raw Organic Coconut Flour, once again, that may require more water. But add it in gradually.

Coconut Flour Crepe Cake | Grain Free | Dairy Free

Coconut Flour Crêpe Cake

Coconut Flour Crepe Cake

This pretty pile of Crêpe makes a Coconut Flour Crêpe Cake. (Gather the teenagers or a friend or two, you’ll struggle to eat it all by yourself!)

Why Coconut Flour with Crêpes?

Coconut Flour keeps you regular… and so do these berries. That is one reason why you really ought to make an excuse to try this Coconut Flour Crêpe Cake on a special occasion coming up in your calendar.

Crêpes with cream provide a wonderful celebration mood to the table setting. But some people just can’t handle grain and dairy. This recipe is adeptly adapted by Rose, from TheCleanDish.com to accommodate grain and dairy free diet restrictions.

Are there special guidelines for using Coconut Flour?

Readers have asked for Coconut Flour recipes. Well, this is one. But let’s remind ourselves that Coconut Flour requires a little bit of understanding. Generally speaking Coconut Flour can be added to ordinary flour at a rate of 15%, but anything beyond that requires eggs, or you can get a similar effect with ground flax or chia seeds.

Also, recipes with flour run the risk of going wrong if sifted flour is measured instead of unsifted flour. This guideline applies to Coconut Flour as well.

Below you’ll find the recipe. Be sure to look at the website link below the recipe for instructions on how to make this dish a success.

Raw Eatwell Coconut Oil Muesli Bars

Need a Coconut Oil laden snack with taste, and less sugar?
These bars will fill the gap inside, so you can stay on task till the next meal.
Raw Eatwell Eatwell Coconut Oil Muesli BarsLooking for less refined sugar? Raw Eatwell Coconut Oil Muesli Bars have dry fruit for sweetening. As a result they use less refined sugar. These no bake bars use raw White Gold Coconut Oil. (Photo Eatwell NZ blog)

Grey-Line1

Firstly, before you begin reading any further, we’d love you to take our Coconut Oil Muesli Bar poll, and you’ll be able to view the latest results from the poll.

[yop_poll id=”4″]

Raw Eatwell Coconut Oil Muesli Bars

Versatile snacks: Coconut Oil Muesli Bars

Nuts, or no nuts, you decide, will you have nuts or not? This particular version of the Eatwell NZ recipe has swapped sesame seeds for sunflower, and almonds for mixed nuts. But the results were voted to be scrumptious by all taste testers.

[gmc_recipe 12703]

Raw Eatwell Coconut Oil Muesli Bars

Why Eatwell NZ published this recipe

Nicola, at Eatwell NZ says this about Muesli bars in the supermarket, back in September, 2011, “It’s hard to find the perfect muesli bar at the supermarket. Sugar is often the second ingredient on the list, and they often taste a little average to tell the truth.”

And the search continues… just this week in August 2016, some 5 years after the above muesli bar recipe was posted, we received a request from a loyal New Zealand Coconut Oil Shop customer. It reads like this.

“Would appreciate more sugarless (using dates etc for sweetening) or raw recipes that use coconut oil.”

So that is why this Coconut Resort blog posted our version of this recipe. We love customer interaction, and we love to provide the Smiliest Service!

We also received this fine piece of advice. “Where it says ‘Heat the honey…’ you could add: GENTLY heat the honey. – because
(1) Honey loses its natural enzymes when overheated.
(2) It takes on bitter taste when over heated
(3) It becomes toxic when over heated.
All this can be avoided, by not heating honey above the temp of 104Deg C. The ancient system of Ayurveda considers uncooked honey to be nectar and cooked honey as poison. (they advise never to heat it above 104Deg C)”

Have you seen the reader comment below?

We heard that this goes well with dates and Ancient Wisdom Coconut Oil as well as White Gold brand.

Our reader Marie write in, “Thanks for the Eatwell Coconut Oil Muesli Bars recipe! I made them (using Ancient Wisdom and 6 dates) and they are beaut.”
