Coconut Oil & Lemongrass Essential Oils
While coconut and lemongrass oils have several health benefits, the emphasis in this article is on their skin benefits.
Coconut oil and its cream is a powerful moisturizer and possesses healing properties that far surpasses any other dietary oil. Recent scientific studies have discovered and confirmed the numerous benefits of coconut oil. It has long been used in traditional medicine extensively. In fact, Pacific Islanders consider coconut oil a cure-all oil. It has been called the “Tree of Life”. It fights dry skin and all types of skin conditions. It has antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial, anti-aging and anti-wrinkle properties, among others. It is rich in vitamin E which helps to delay the occurrence of wrinkles, protects the skin from UV damage as well as soothes skin from eczema, psoriasis, sun burn, and bug bites. Coconut contains 3 fatty acids namely capric acid, lauric acid and caprylic acid. Each of these acids kills candida, a common cause of fungal infection on the skin.

It helps prevent bacterial, viral, and fungal infections, as a result of its antimicrobial component, lauric acid, which is found solely in coconut oil, palm kernel oil, bay leaf, and in breast milk.”
