Started taking virgin coconut oil (VCO) on the 7th Sept 2012. Have been reading quite a number of feedback by mothers in a breastfeeding group I used to join in and decided to buy one bottle of it when I made my first purchase via iHerb.
You can Google yourself on the benefits on VCO if you want to know more. The first time I took it, it just stays in my mouth, I dare not move at all and just let the oil remain in my mouth. I was hesitating, should I gargle? Swirl it around my mouth? Use my tongue and flick it something? In the end, I just swallowed it in a gulp. The aftertaste? A sweet smelling and tasting oil in my mouth. Bearable. No gagging reflex which I feared. OK, one giant step for me.
I'm currently taking 1 tablespoon right after my breakfast. Hopefully can see some (well, any!) results.
Do you take VCO? What benefits do you noticed?
