Shake It All Up! Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil Giveaway

Last week I received a jar of Virgin Coconut Oil from Tropical Traditions.

The first thing you may notice about this is, when you open it, it doesn't really look like oil.  The properties of it solidify somewhat and so it is soft enough to scoop but it is not in an actual liquid state.

 

That is so easy to remedy though.  Just boil a bit of water and put it in a bowl and then take how much coconut oil you need and put that in a smaller bowl.  The use a "double boiler" effect and in no time you will have "liquid" coconut oil.  It's so worth the little bit of extra effort too.

Already I have substituted the Tropical Traditions Extra Virgin Coconut Oil for vegetable oil in baking, and I have used it as a hot oil treatment on my scalp and hair.

One would never have noticed the difference in my zucchini bread, except that perhaps it was moister than ever before.  As for the oil treatment for my scalp and hair, lets just say this will be a routine that I will keep.

You see I have psoriasis on my scalp and have sores and itching  because of it.  Psoriasis of the scalp basically is that the skin on your scalp grows at different rates causing build up of skin deposits on same parts of it.  Often it will cause itching and yes that flaky white stuff too.  I have tried all sorts of shampoos and hair treatments some which have worked for a bit, others not, but generally those that have worked have contained medicates which I'd rather not use on my head. 

The coconut oil treatment was a bit messy, but well worth it.  I left it on all night (covered my hair up with a shower cap and an old towel to absorb extra oil) while I slept and washed it out in the shower the next morning.  Seriously my hair has never looked so soft and shiny, but even better when I combed out my hair, I had hardly any hair casts (the white flakys) fall out.  Amazing!

After reading about it success for skin blemishes in Virgin Coconut Oil, How it has changed people’s lives and how it can change yours! by Brian & Marianita Jader Shilhav, the book I was sent along with the oil to review, my 13 year old daughter plans to try and help eradicate her pimples with it as well.

Along with the skin care tips, it is chocked full of recipes and other ways you can implement coconut oil in your daily routines.
