Amazing Benefits of Coconut Oil | Simple remedies for Skin, Hair & Health | Dr Hansaji

Coconut oil is more than just a cooking ingredient, it is a time-tested gift of nature.Did you know coconut oil contains lauric acid, the same fatty acid found in mother’s milk? This makes it naturally antiviral, antifungal, and antibacterial, helping protect the body from harmful bacteria while supporting immunity.In Sanskrit, the coconut tree is called Kalpavriksha, the wish-fulfilling tree because every part of it is useful. For centuries, coconut oil has been used across India’s coastal regions as food, medicine, and in sacred rituals.Coconut oil is rich in medium-chain triglycerides (MCT triglycerides), which are quickly converted into energy and support digestion without burdening the body. Unlike other fats, it does not easily form harmful compounds when heated, making it one of the safest oils for cooking.Health & Ayurveda Benefits
