What is Coconut Oil?
The coconut has been used by people who live in tropical climates for thousands of years. Ayurvedic (traditional Indian medicine) has long chronicled the uses of coconut oil for both medicinal and cosmetic purposes.
In Panama, Central America coconut oil is drunk by the glass full to overcome sickness. In Jamaica it is considered as a heart tonic. It is used in Africa, the Pacific and Asia as a major source of food and medicine.
Traditionally these people who's diet is high in coconut oil are healthy, have strong physiques, low incidence of heart disease and cancer and are generally resistant to many of the local tropical diseases.
It is only since these people have adopted western food into their diets such as refined sugar, flour and polyunsaturated vegetable oils have these diseases begun to appear with regularity.
The west however, which has long shunned the coconut for it's supposed cholesterol is plagued by these and other degenerative diseases.
Coconut oil has been found to be useful in the treatment of psoriasis, dandruff, remove pre-cancerous skin legions, speed recovery from the flu, stop bladder infections, and relieve hemorrhoids.
Research has also shown positive results in the treating of cavities, peptic ulcers, enlarged prostrate, epilepsy, genital herpes, hepatitis C, and HIV/Aids.
It has also shown to reduce bad cholesterol, promote weight loss, increase good cholesterol and to prevent heart disease.
Sococo Coconut Oil – A Quality Oil
Hinako Island is one of a small group of atolls located off Nias Island In Sumatera. These atolls are hundreds of miles from any city and are surrounded by the Indian ocean. There is one motorbike on the island; the area is remote and the air pure. Fertilisers are not used on the islands, the total population is approximately 1500.
The Process
Most inexpensive coconut oils come from copra: the white coconut meat, which is smoked over smouldering coconut husk until dry then transported to a large factory to process with similar copra from a large area. Sometimes oil from this process is bleached and or deodorised to remove the yellow colour or excessive smell caused by the smoke, in other cases the oil is sold, even as cold pressed, containing the residue from the smoke in it colour and taste. Pure coconut oil should be clear like water when liquid and as white as snow when solid.
Sococo oil coconuts do not need to be smoked: as soon as the meat is removed from the coconut it is shredded, pressed, the milk removed and allowed to separate from the oil. There is no need for preservative, as the oil is packaged within 24 hours of being removed from the coconut. As there is no smoking involved, our oil is as clear as water, please compare it to other brands, you may be able to guess which process has been used.
