Coconut oil, also known as copra oil, is suitable in medical and other domestic purposes.

As a result of its high content of oily-milk, it is slow to oxidize and it is resistant to rancidification, which has the shelf life of two years and beyond when properly processed into oil.

Extraction process:

Coconut oil production is done in two ways:

Dry method – This process requires.
Wet method.
Dry processing – This method involves drying of the extracted meat by means of firing or kilns to generate copra, which is crushed and pressed to generate the coconut oil.

The coconut meat is crushed, washed with water to collect milky liquid, which is further boiled or heated to a certain temperature, after which, it is allowed to cool down and the oil would be collected by means of de-counting or by the use of oil extractor.

COCONUT OIL FOR COOKING

Both refined and unrefined coconut oils have their benefits. For cooking, both types of coconut oil can be used, but the low melting temperature of unrefined coconut oil means it is not good for frying foods.

*THE WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL NATURAL ANTI-BIOTIC*

1. Raw Honey

Honey is pretty amazing stuff! I recommend local raw honey. When honey is raw, it is packed full of amino acids, B-vitamins, minerals, enzymes, antioxidants, and antimicrobial compounds. Raw honey also contains bee pollen and propolis, which contribute to it’s highly immune boosting, healing, and antibiotic properties.

Raw honey has a pretty impressive line-up of uses. It has been shown to be as effective as over the counter cough medications in reducing coughs in children, including nighttime coughing which improved sleep. It speeds healing in diabetic foot ulcers faster than standard saline dressings.

It is used as a prophylactic for patients undergoing cataract surgery was more effective at reducing postoperative complications than routine fluoroquinolones, which are becoming less effective due to antibiotic resistance. As a pain reliever, honey outperformed acetaminophen after tonsils removal, and led to a return to regular diet and better sleep significantly quicker.

Raw honey is also effective against MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) by way of naturally occurring hydrogen peroxide found in it. Evidence suggests that raw honey from has the highest content of methylglyoxal, an active compound in honey that exerts a strong antimicrobial effect against MRSA.

Honey is pretty awesome and if you are specifically looking for help in healing MRSA, go for OUR RAW UNREFINED UNPASTEURIZED HONEY.

Honey should not be given to children under 2 due to the potential of botulism.
