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 nowhere 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.

Wow! So many possibilities! I LOVE Coconut Oil. Thanks for the inspiration. 🙂
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.
Absolutely wonderful blog and infographics. Thanks so much – It would be great if you could do the difference in the benefits of organic coconut oil and non-organic and something about palm oils – some are good and some are very bad.
Hi Floyd – Great idea! I’ll add that to my list! 🙂
Cannot read or see the print for Box 1 #14 & 15, Box 2 #13, Box 3 #18 & 19 and Box 4 #18-19 & 20 because of the Pin It and Follow me on Pinterest boxes. They are covering the words for those #s. Thanks!
Hi Jo-Anne – Just click on the image and it will open up in a larger view for you. 🙂
I have heard many people who use coconut oil for a skin moisturizer. I want to start using it but I’m unsure how to stroe it that would make it easy to use. I’ve used coconut oil for cooking before and stored it in the fridge bc of it liquifying in the cabinet. Can I store CO in the medicine cabinet? Also, do you apply it to the face when it’s in liquid form or more solid? Also, when just injesting spoonfuls, do you do that in liquid or more solid form?
Hi Jaime – Coconut oil is very shelf stable and does not need to be stored in the fridge. It is solid at temps below 75 degrees F and liquid above. It can be stored at room temperature and yes, storing a small jar in the medicine cabinet would be fine. As far as ingesting, I always used to do it in solid form, but I also recommend that people just incorporate coconut oil into all of their cooking and baking since not everyone enjoys a spoonful of oil. 🙂
