The areas of its use are truly limitless: cosmetology, health, cooking, alternative to household chemicals, pet care... Do you think we are fantasizing? Here are 60 healthy and enjoyable ways to use coconut oil in different areas of human life.

Coconut oil for beauty

In cosmetology, coconut oil can be used all over the body, but it is best suited for hair, facial skin and cuticles.

1. Natural conditioner. The oil moisturizes and nourishes the hair, so it makes an excellent natural balm. You can make a hair mask, but do not apply the oil in its pure form: due to its greasy content, it will be difficult to wash off.

2. Scalp care. Massaging your scalp with coconut oil will get rid of dandruff and prevent it from appearing again.

3. Hair styling. Although Thai women always rub a drop of oil through their hair before leaving the house, it is better to observe moderation.

Victoria Shinal, cosmetologist:

Facial skin is more delicate, so I would recommend using coconut oil more for the body and hair. At the same time, I welcome the presence of coconut oil in professional cosmetics. To nourish the hair structure, I recommend braiding your hair overnight and soaking it in coconut oil, and in the morning wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner. It is very good to use massage oil after a shower for dry skin types. I recommend a hand mask: mix 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, 1 tablespoon of glycerin, 1 teaspoon of chamomile fatty oil and 5 drops each of lemon and orange essential oils. Massage your hands and nails with the resulting mixture regularly.

4. Care for cuticles and hand skin. Coconut oil will help get rid of dry and flaky hand skin. It will soften the cuticle and make nail care easier.

5. Shaving cream. The oil is a good substitute for shaving cream: it will help the razor glide, soften the skin and is suitable for sensitive skin.

6. Anti-wrinkle product. Natural fats and lauric acid nourish the skin and smooth out fine wrinkles. The oil is perfect for freshening the face in the morning if applied before bed, as well as for the décolleté area.

7. Sunburn remedy. When it is sunny, you can apply a few drops of oil to reddened areas of the skin. This will relieve irritation and help avoid peeling.

8. Lip balm and gloss. If you suffer from dry or chapped lips, try using oil instead of balm.

9. Makeup remover. Apply the oil to the skin, and after five minutes, remove the makeup with a damp cloth.

10. Remedy for eczema. The oil will help soothe the skin during various types of rashes, reduce itching and irritation.

11. To strengthen eyelashes. Apply a couple of drops of oil to your eyelashes before going to bed. This will help strengthen them and quickly regenerate.

12. To remove wax. The oil will help remove wax after. Apply no a large number of on sticky areas and wipe them with a damp cloth.

13. Foot cream. The oil will soften the skin of your feet and become an alternative to expensive antiperspirants. To eliminate odor, add a couple of drops of tea tree oil to the product and use it as a cream.

14. Antiperspirant. Coconut oil can be used as a natural alternative to deodorant (except on days when you exercise or do vigorous physical activity).

16. Oil for home SPA treatments. Add a few drops of your favorite coconut oil essential oil- and get an excellent home spa product.

It is impossible to list all the wonderful properties of coconut oil! We recommend ordering this souvenir, useful in every sense, from Thailand. Better yet, fly for it yourself. Have a nice trip!

Good day, dear readers!

​I have already written reviews about all sorts of Thai things, and today I would like to talk about the most important souvenir for hair maniacs and lovers healthy eating, which can be brought from Thailand. This is 100% natural coconut oil. In Pattaya, I bought unrefined oil from Parisut for my beloved.

Volume 500 ml

Price in a Thai supermarket it was about 300 baht (600 rubles at the current exchange rate). Especially for this review, I looked at how much this oil costs in IM. It turned out that from 1000 rubles for such a volume. You can buy, for example, .

In the photo you see frozen oil. It hardens at temperatures below 25 degrees. This is completely normal for him, and even good, because it speaks of his naturalness. There is a small sediment in the oil - these are coconut shavings, like in a Bounty chocolate bar.

Smell

Oh, this scent! It smells very gently of coconut. This is a completely natural coconut oil scent.

And now about how and why do I use it.

1. Hair

​I love taking care of my hair, even though it hasn’t made me happy lately.

A little about my hair

Just below the shoulder blades

The roots have their own, streaked somewhere from the ears

Dry lengths and oily ends

They are getting fluffy from this dryness

They break down

They fall out.

In general, a complete set

In the evening, before going to bed, I apply coconut oil to the length of my hair. I apply it so that nothing drips or flows. Then I braid my hair and go to bed. Just in case, I put a towel on the pillow. The one that you don't mind :) But the hair doesn't really get it dirty. The main thing is not to overdo it with oil. This is how I sleep all night. In the morning I wash off the oil with shampoo. Two lathers of shampoo with sulfates are enough for me to do this. I dry it naturally with a hairdryer on a cold setting if I’m late, and... Voila!

This is a very good result for my hair. The hair lies smoothly, it is straight, moisturized, shiny and flowing. Yes, there is fluffiness, but it is not as strong as usual.

By the way, so far no remedy has been able to overcome it. Neither this professional mask, nor this natural coconut mask.

I read that coconut oil dries out the hair for some people. I don't. And I'm very happy about it :)

2. Leather

Now I'm expecting a baby. He should be born in a month or a month and a half :)

My belly is already big. I myself am thin, my hips are not wide, so my belly began to appear early and grow forward. Of course, prevention of stretch marks is important for me. Every night before bed I apply this oil to my stomach, chest, buttocks and thighs, and so far I have not had any stretch marks. The oil moisturizes the skin well. It is not absorbed very quickly, so it is better to wear a robe first, which is also not too bad, and then go to bed. As I already said, coconut oil has a pleasant natural aroma, so applying it to the skin is a pleasure.

3. Food

I have a doctor friend who has a very interesting and unusual method treatment. He believes that all our diseases can be cured by nutrition (well... maybe not completely cured, but certainly prevented!). He strictly forbade me to buy sunflower oil in stores and advised me to switch to high-quality olive oil. He considers coconut to be the best. It was on his advice that I bought such a large bottle of this oil in Thailand. I walked around the supermarket looking for it, and when I found it, the first thing I did was see if it was safe to eat. Yes, it says on the bottle that you can. "Great, then let's take it!" - I thought and went with him to the checkout. And I didn’t regret it.

I don’t use this oil for frying; I fry with special olive oil. I'm sorry about coconut :) But in salads... This is probably best oil, which can be refilled fresh salad. The oil has a specific sweetish taste, the taste of coconut. It perfectly complements the taste of crispy lettuce leaves, tomatoes and juicy bell pepper. But there is one "but". Vegetables should be out of the refrigerator, otherwise the butter will harden in one lump.

So, you need to let the vegetables warm up, and immediately after you dress the salad, you need to stir it, just in case. Then the oil will give your dish a unique flavor.

For many centuries, the coconut palm has been a part of the daily life of Thais; mentions of it can be found even in very ancient documents. The first mention of its use was that coconut was used to make fuel for ceramic lamps. These lamps were used in ancient capital Sukhothai, which was founded more than 700 years ago. Coconut oil has never gone out of use and is still used today. For example, coconut oil has been used in medicine since ancient times - it was mixed with herbs and then eaten or used for therapeutic massage.

Coconut oil in cosmetology

Coconut oil is not only consumed as food, but is also used for cosmetic purposes. Hair creams and shampoos are made from coconut oil, and coconut oil is used in after-sun moisturizers. If you apply coconut oil and go to the beach, you will get an even and beautiful tan - just don’t overdo it, you can get sunburned very quickly. It is recommended to use coconut oil for skin not 100%, but specially prepared, i.e. use coconut oil based creams.

Be sure to look for soap with coconut oil at cosmetic stores! This soap does not dry out the skin, but rather moisturizes it.

Coconut oil is a cosmetic product that is recommended to be exported from Thailand without fail.

How to choose coconut oil?

Take a bottle of coconut oil, place a bottle of water next to it, high-quality coconut oil should be the same in transparency. 100% coconut oil begins to freeze at temperatures below +24 C, and flakes first appear (no need to throw it away - it has not spoiled!) then the oil becomes completely white and hard.

The photo shows that the bottle on the far left is still transparent, the bottles to the right contain frozen coconut oil. The price for 0.5 liters of 100% coconut oil in Tesco Lotus is 325 baht.

How is coconut oil obtained?

Previously, in cooking, white coconut meat (copra) was crushed to extract thick and fragrant coconut oil for cooking. This practice is believed to reflect the influence of India and the Malay Peninsula. A food poem written 200 years ago during the reign of King Rama II mentions Kaeng pla thaypo and Kaeng pla thaypo, which were prepared using coconut oil.

Another proof of the ancient use of coconut is a tool called “kratai khut mafrao”. It was used to separate the "coconut meat" from the shell, which was then crushed to produce coconut oil. Many of these ancient "kratai" can be seen in the south of Thailand. There is a collection of these tools in a museum on the island of Koh Yo in Songkhla, most of which have a history of more than a century. Kratai were considered essential tools for any kitchen, and some skilled craftsmen created beautiful kratai in their own style.

IN modern world coconut oil is obtained in two ways - by cold pressing, in this case only 10% of the possible yield of coconut oil is obtained, therefore this oil is the most expensive. This oil retains its beneficial features and vitamins, it can be eaten.

Hot pressing produces the cheapest oil, which can be used as a moisturizer for hair and skin.

There is a third method - artisanal, it is used in Thai villages and handicraft industries. The method is as follows: First, you get coconut shavings using special devices. Coconut flakes dried in the sun are sent to a large frying pan, where coconut oil is obtained under high temperature. This oil is not useful and it is not recommended to buy it. This method of obtaining can be seen on the River Kwai excursion, provided that there is a Coconut Farm stop on the program.

Using coconut oil in food

Since its first appearance in Thai cuisine two centuries ago in the dishes Keng Massaman and Keng Khua, the use of coconut oil has rapidly grown and become more varied. Over time, it becomes an integral part of Thai cuisine, as well as an ingredient in dishes of all kinds. IN last years In Thai cuisine, they began to replace coconut oil with other ingredients, even though the oil is excellent for these dishes.

An important part of traditional Thai culture was both the technique of using coconut oil and the technique of extracting it from coconuts. This was done in a certain way and using specific methods. By harvesting coconuts, farmers could tell which ones were fully ripe, so they knew exactly how many coconuts they would need.

Using the kratai to separate the copra from the shell, the chefs took their time and carefully cut it into small pieces. They were then mixed with warm water to extract as much oil as possible. Dishes made from coconut oil were left on the fire for so long that the water began to boil and all the ingredients were cooked. But not for very long, just long enough for the oil to separate from the coconut.

Uses of coconut oil in Thai cuisine

One of these dishes that everyone knows about today is called “Tom kha kai” ( chicken soup with coconut oil, galangal and lime juice). In the past, it was made together with "pla chon" (the name given to the snakehead fish), since chicken was unpopular and people preferred to eat fish.

Cooking galangal with fish gave the soup a delicious aroma, and also masked the smell of the fish. The result was a dish that combined the sweet and savory taste of coconut oil, the saltiness of the Nam Pla sauce and the aromas of fish and seasonings. Some old recipes for making snakehead fish soup used the same seasoning as the famous tom yum soup, so the dishes were sour, salty and hot.

This dish later became "tom yum nam khon" (complicated tom yum with coconut oil). Today there are many variations of this dish, such as "tom yam nam khon pla haeng" (cooked with dried fish) or "tom kloang pla salit yang in nam khon" (cooked with a little freshwater fish and tender tamarind sprouts).

Coconut oil is also added to some hot and sour salad-like dishes called yam, in enough quantity to enrich the dish without making it greasy. Recipes of this kind include yam tua plu (winged bean salad), yam pla salit (fish dish) and yam tawai (cooked with various vegetables), in which boiled vegetables are poured sweet sauce chili called "nam prik".

The above are examples of how coconut oil has been used in Thai cuisine in the past. Much has changed today, but not better side. Nowadays, coconut milk is used instead of coconut oil to prepare almost all coconut oil dishes served in restaurants. And anyone who is familiar with the dish in its traditional form will quickly notice that milk is not suitable here, so the peculiarity of the recipe is lost.

The popular dishes "tom kha kai" and "tom yum", which are traditionally prepared with coconut oil, are now often prepared without this important ingredient. This is a consequence of a number of simplifications in the preparation of these dishes. In the past, the cook used a hand tool to crush coconut oil right in his kitchen and add it to the dish. Nowadays no one does this, because... Coconut oil can be bought in Thailand in industrial packaging, already purified and specially prepared, but chefs began to notice that the effect of such oil was not at all the same and therefore many abandoned such an important component. There are still chefs who follow the traditions of preparing dishes according to ancient recipes, but unfortunately there are fewer and fewer of them...

Some legends and misconceptions associated with coconut oil

If you bought coconut oil and it didn't freeze, you bought a fake. No, this is not a fake, in the cosmetic industry they often use coconut oil mixed with jojoba oil, vitamin E and others useful components. This oil does not freeze at a temperature of 25 degrees. But... They often sell not 100% natural coconut oil, but diluted with mineral oil. It is also completely transparent, but the label says in small letters that it contains White Mineral Oil. This “coconut oil” is very cheap and not worth buying.

The normal cost of one liter of 100% coconut oil is 550-600 baht

In addition to coconut oil, palm sugar is obtained from the coconut palm.

Coconuts are harvested at their optimum ripening time by experienced harvesters, without the use of any mechanical or electrical equipment to avoid damage to the fruit.

Removing the shell. The outer layer of the shell is smooth and waterproof. The next layer is fibrous, which allows the coconuts not to sink in water. To remove these two layers, a special device is required, consisting of a flat knife blade mounted on a steel pole. The worker presses the peel onto the blade and peels the skin to the side three times, turning the nut 120 degrees each time in order to free the brown “nut” from its shell.

Peeling the nut. Using tools like a potato peeler, the women remove the last remaining thin brown layer, revealing a moist white ball of fresh, flavorful pulp. coconut.

Oil extraction. Before extraction begins, the ball of coconut pulp is washed in purified water, dried and crushed into small fibers. The macerated pulp is then placed in a cylinder, inside which a piston-like plunger forces the mass through a perforated plate, releasing pure, natural coconut oil. Extraction occurs within a few hours of harvesting the coconuts. Raw, unfiltered natural oil retains taste, smell, and healing properties fresh, white coconut flesh.

Types of coconut oil in Thailand, which brand to choose

Coconut oil comes in two types:

• Hot pressed. To do this, ripe fruits are collected and the white pulp is removed from them. Next, I turn it into shavings, fill it with water and put it on fire. As soon as the oil boils, a yellow film appears on its surface. This is oil. It is collected and then the coconut is put back on the fire and so on. This oil is most often used for food; meat and vegetables are fried in it. Although it can be used in cosmetology, the effect will not be great.
• Cold pressed. Coconut fruits are collected, the core is cut out and shavings are made from it. Next, this entire mass is placed under a press.
