Healing Crisis of virgin coconut oil

Consuming some medicine or functional food, some people, at the early stage, may experience "healing crisis" temporary before they get better. Some placebo cases also showed such "healing crisis." The raw material used for placebo could be flour, which is manufactured to appear just like the medicine, the effect of which they intend to examine.

Unlike other vegetable oils, virgin coconut oil does remain fresh for several years in a room temperature. It has very low moisture content and a very long shelf life.

The virgin coconut oil is completely clear like spring water in a liquid state. When the room temperature is cold, it becomes creamy and smooth in a semi-solid state, and pure white in a fresh solid state, which melt in your mouth with a nice mild coconut flavor.
