Coconut oil for injuries, infections and stretch marks!!!
Coconut oil actually speeds the healing of injuries and infections. Coconut oil will usually accomplish this without the awful scarring that often comes with cuts and abrasions. Coconut oil promotes quick healing so it is no wonder that is a perfect solution for stretch marks (particularly before they occur as with pregnancy)! Everything seems to heal faster and better when coconut oil is either:
- applied topically
- taken internally
Daily use is your best bet to thwart of infections and scarring. If you are going to use coconut oil topically, try warming it up so it is very warm to the touch. This is important as warmer coconut oil is absorbed better and penetrates the injured area deeper. You'll get the best benefit if the coconut oil is allowed to work at its fullest potential. Make sure that you apply the coconut oil constantly while your wound is healing. You may have to use a waterproof bandage to prevent the coconut oil from drying out (if the coconut oil gets dried out on the would the healing benefits are greatly weakened).
Happy healing!
