I have heard that coconut oil has so many uses. Well I decided to try it out. First on my hair, then my skin, and now I swish my mouth out with it. I see it working on my hair and skin. Just started on my mouth. What other ways do people use coconut oil besides cooking with it?

I could research it, but wanted to hear what other people think about it.

Oh I love coconut oil I use organic coconut oil for everything .. Have even started using it on my pups .. It's a great flea deterrent .. Good for the coat .. And great for their digestive system . I use it in home made beauty products .. Mix coconut oil and manuka honey and gelatine to make a face mask .. The secret to great looking skin. I mix it in caramel coffee .. A good way to get the anti-oxidants and lipids . coconut oil . Organic virgin is best :-) Wow i didnt know about putting it on a dogs fur. I may have to try that. Thanks Blondey!

Coconut milk and coffee is an excellent antioxidant drink

I think coconut oil makes the best popcorn! Throw in some cinnamon and coconut sugar and you have a healthy delicious sweet treat!

I've been thinking about the oil-pulling thing... but I think I'd have to puke Plus, you'd have to hold the coconut stuff in your gob a few minutes for it to melt... So how do you do that? I know you can use other oil as well, but the idea of holding oil in your gob... for quite some time, eewww... I haven't had the guts to try it..

I mix it with some bicarbonate (which makes your teeths whiter and brighter) and put it on the toothbrush.

Coconut oil is good on skin immersed in water long times - fishers. It is tasty, but not a healthy oil, I think it is a saturated fat. But coconut use is causing the destruction of endangered rainforests to make more plantations, endangering orangutans and other rare and endangered species all over the tropical regions. So please limit its use.

It's the oil I use to cook foods :) I like coconut products. I'm glad I live in a place with lots of coconuts! Coconut oil is also what I use on my skin since I stopped using conventional moisturizer/lotion.
