[nagdu] Coconut Oil

[Lisa]

Hi Danielle,

I use coconut oil for wounds, with Taylor as well as with myself. ;-) It 
helps the healing process very efficiently, I've experienced it myself with 
a small combustion. Some people use it to prevent ticks but I've heard that 
it's not very successful against them.
Coconut oil is one of those things that seem to be helpful with everything. 
:) I always have a glass at home.
