From the book Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is extracted from the meat of mature coconuts and contains MCFA’s (medium fatty acids), a kind of fat that works differently from other fats. MCFA’s are absorbed in the body cells where they are readily available to be burned up to provide energy. The fats, unlike other fats have a lesser likelihood of being stored as body fat.
Several studies show that using coconut oil can help keep the fat off while at the same time protecting the body from insulin resistance. This means that coconut oil is great for weight loss and lessening the risk of diabetes
Coconut oil is one of the safest and best oils for cooking since MCFA’s don’t turn to dangerous hydrogenated fat as they are resistant to heat. You can use the oil for baking or frying as the healthier alternative.
This book will teach you how to use the magic of coconut oil to your benefit, whether to help you lose weight, maintain healthy hair and skin, or even to potentially improve your mental faculties. The uses and benefits of coconut oil are varied and powerful.

For centuries, people have taken what seems to be an instinctive pleasure in rubbing scents into their skin. Perfume has helped them to pray, to heal, and to make love. And as long as there has been perfume, there have been perfumers, or rather the priests, shamans, and apothecaries who were their predecessors. Yet, in many ways, perfumery is a lost art, its creative and sensual possibilities eclipsed by the synthetic ingredients of which contemporary perfumes are composed, which have none of the subtlety and complexity of essences derived from natural substances, nor their lush histories. Essence and Alchemy resurrects the social and metaphysical legacy that is entwined with the evolution of perfumery, from the dramas of the spice trade to the quests of the alchemists to whom today's perfumers owe a philosophical as well as a practical debt. Mandy Aftel tracks scent through the boudoir and the bath and into the sanctums of worship, offering insights on the relationship of scent to sex, solitude, and the soul. Along the way, she imparts instruction in the art of perfume compositions, complete with recipes, guiding the reader in a process of transformation of materials that continues to follow the alchemical dictum solve et coagula (dissolve and combine) and is itself aesthetically and spiritually transforming.
Learn the wonderful benefits and incredible uses of essential oils, the natural way for you to care for yourself and your family. Are you worried about harsh chemicals and ingredients in our cleaners and beauty products? Do you worry about what ingredients are inside the medicine you give your children? Would you like a more natural, more green way to reduce your stress, care for your skin, or for pain relief?
Sounds wonderful, right? But these are all the benefits you could receive by making the switch to using essential oils. And this book will show you how. This step-by-step guide offers you tips and recipes to replace many of the common household and personal care products that you use. Never worry again about what is in these products.
