Introduction

The myth of the coconut

The coconut tree is one of the most versatile plants that exist. While we are all familiar with coconut as a food source, not many of us are aware of the myriad of other benefits that coconut has. In many countries, coconut shells are woven into fabrics for rugs, insulation, and much more.

The shells themselves are used as bowls, to make utensils, and as flotation devices for rafts. However, it is the coconut itself that attracts the most interest. Coconut pulp has a beautiful flavor and is used around the world in a variety of cooking styles. Coconut milk is delicious to drink on its own and is also the main ingredient in curries around the world.

Over the years, many, many claims have been made about the natural health benefits of coconut oil, primarily around the dietary and medicinal properties it possesses. This is the reason why coconut oil has quickly become a mass consumer product in the West with thousands of companies including it in their beauty products and thousands of recipes including it as an alternative to other oils.

However, there is still much controversy surrounding the actual health benefits of coconut and there are still debates as to whether claims of its benefits have been exaggerated. This is where this book comes into play.

We have carefully researched the benefits of coconut oil and detailed all the fantastic qualities that can be derived from eating coconut oil and applying it to your skin. We have omitted some purported benefits due to a lack of evidence to support them and we hope this book will help in some way dispel the myths surrounding coconut oil, while also providing the reader with insight into what coconut oil treatments will be. applicable to all in their usual way. lives. Thank you for purchasing this e-book and we hope it will help you as it has helped us.....................
