Coconut Uses
Prologue
By Arlene Mejia

After years of med school and seeing so many people affected by illnesses of all nature I started looking for ways to prevent ending up like the patients I was treating. I found that most pills and conventional therapy though sometimes necessary weren’t the only solution or the best ones at that. I investigated ways to live a healthier more fulfilling life not only for myself but for my children and other loved ones. Sorting through all the natural, organic, chemical free options was and eye opening experience but then I came across the coconut.

Yes, the coconut! Eventhough I have roots in the Caribbean and had always seen coconuts used in millions of ways truly I was blind. I had no idea how beneficial coconuts in all their forms could be for overall health but most of all it’s such a pleasurable experience because it tastes oh sooooo good. Coconut oil, coconut milk, coconut aminos, coconut meat, coconut water this is definitely an incredible and multifunctional fruit.

The sky is the limit and it would be a crime to keep the coconut locked up in the kitchen. The uses range from beauty & anti-aging, pet care, house keeping and even some saucier application for the grown ups. I went ahead and did the foot work for you so research that took me months to find all over the web and DIY recipes that I have tweaked and improved are all in the same place and just a click away. This is just the tip of the iceberg and I will keep researching for new things and creating new recipes. Don't be a stranger and feel free to post on our site, let us know what you are looking for, we can't wait to hear from you.
