Recently, I created a series of images for the Delicious Obsessions Facebook page, on various ways to use coconut oil. I know that not everyone is on Facebook, so I wanted to share those images here as well! These images contain no where near all of the uses there are for coconut oil. If you want more, read my post for 122 Uses for Coconut Oil here. You can also find printable images of the 122 Uses of Coconut Oil here.

I’m wondering if you can help me with two things. Does eating the coconut oil get rid of nail fungus or should it be applied topically. Also, my daughter seems to have a skin reaction to certain foods including coconut oil. Is there something that works *almost* as well for dietary needs? Thanks in advance!
Hi Danielle – I can’t offer you any medical advice, due to the FDA and FTC rules in effect for bloggers. I’d recommend checking out the site http://coconutoil.com/. They have tons of information about the health benefits of coconut oil. I can tell you, from personal experience, that coconut oil, mixed with oil of oregano works well for my husband when he has a flare up of athlete’s foot. Sorry I can’t offer more advice, but I hope that helps!
How exactly do you take coconut oil with daily vitamins? I don’t think I could get a spoonful down straight out of the jar and do I literally take vitamins at the same time or just after ingesting the coconut oil?
Amber – I don’t think they have to be taken at the exact same time. If you take your vitamins with food and there’s coconut oil in that food, that is a great way to do it. Otherwise, some people like to just eat a spoonful of the coconut oil, which you could do before or after you take the vitamins. I don’t think it’s a strict science as to timing.
Here’s something you should know: taking coconut oil on an empty stomach can make you nauseated. I did that once and learned my lesson. Had to use ginger to straighten it out.
Thanks for the tip!
Does it matter if you use either refined or unrefined coconut oil?
I use both refined and virgin in my cooking, depending on my needs. I like the virgin when I want the coconutty flavor to come through, but I like the refined when I just want a neutral oil.
