Uses for Coconut Oil



There are so many uses for coconut oil, besides eating of course! Read below to see how you can start incorporating some of these into your daily life, for holistic healthy swaps. 

Oil pulling: Is an ancient Ayurvedic technique that has been around for centuries. What you do, is you put a tablespoon of coconut oil in your mouth and swish for about 10-20 minutes. It is believed to improve your dental and gum health, whiten teeth, get rid of bad breath and it removes toxins and detox’s the body. Make sure to spit it out in your garbage can so it doesn’t clog your sink drain!
Toothpaste: If you ran out of toothpaste, you can use coconut oil. However you won't get the same minty taste afterwards, but your teeth will be sparkling clean!                                                                                                                                                                  
Making scrubs: This is super fun and easy to do! Mix coconut oil with Himalayan salt for a healthy exfoliating scrub. If you want something a little less abrasive, swap the Himalayan salt for organic sugar. With the organic sugar you can even use it on your face and lips too! Feel free to add in an essential oil, that is safe for the skin (make sure to read the label) into the mix for an invigorating, uplifting sent. Be careful not to get it to close to your eyes or in your mouth, especially if you're using an essential oil with it.

Skin: You can use coconut oil on your skin to help moisturize. It's also really great with reducing the symptoms from eczema, skin infections and inflammation.

Hair: It can be used as a deep conditioner, by adding in fatty acids and proteins back into the hair.

Lip Balm: Apply to lips to provide protection and moisturize chapped lips.

Makeup remover: Ran out of makeup remover? Put a little coconut oil on a cloth and use to remove makeup from the day!

Sometimes it’s hard to know what is really into your products, the great thing about making your own products is that there are no added toxic chemicals or ingredients you can't pronounce!

Tap Into Cancer Energy

What is Cancer Season? As the Sun moves into the water sign of Cancer, we’re invited to slow down, soften, and return to the sanctuary of our hearts. Cancer season (June 21 – July 22) marks the beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere—a time of warmth, nourishment, and emotional renewal. Governed by the Moon, Cancer energy brings us home to ourselves, urging us to tend to our emotional bodies, deepen our intuition, and create safe, sacred spaces—both within and around us. As a Reiki energy healer, I see Cancer season as a powerful opportunity to reconnect with self-love, compassion and activate the healing energy of the heart. If you’ve been feeling overextended or disconnected, this season is your invitation to come back to center and hold yourself with the tenderness you so often offer others.

Become Magnetic by Raising Your Vibration

  What Is a Vibration? The concept of "vibration" is a powerful and transformative idea, but what does it really mean to raise your vibration, and why is it so essential for manifesting the life you desire? At its core, vibration refers to the energetic frequency at which we operate. Everything in the universe—from physical objects to thoughts and emotions—emits a unique vibrational frequency. We are all energy! High vibrations are associated with emotions like love, gratitude, joy, and peace, while low vibrations are linked to fear, anger, sadness, and doubt.

When we consciously work to raise our vibration, we align ourselves with the higher frequencies that attract positivity, abundance, and opportunities. Why Should You Raise Your Vibration? When it comes to manifesting your desires, your vibration plays a crucial role. The Law of Attraction states that like attracts like, meani...
