Making Your Own BF&C with Coconut Oil
This past month I had a lot of fun making my own Complete Tissue
Ointment with Coconut Oil being the base. Olive Oil is what is
usually used for making ointments along with beeswax, but I tend to
break out with anything containing beeswax. Coconut Oil
has so many healing qualities on its own, and being that it is a solid
below 75 degrees and can be easily liquified, and that it has a long
shelf life to me it is the ideal oil to use. I had contacted
Western Botanicals in hopes that they would be willing to make up their
own version of their Complete Tissue Repair Ointment using the Coconut
Oil, but they weren’t interested.
I bought the bulk 16 oz. bag of Western Botanicals Complete Tissue Repair formula cut along with 4 oz. of Comfrey Root cut. I combined the herbs in my gallon jar and liquified a gallon of Coconut Oil
and poured the oil over the herbs until the oil was about 2 inches from
the top of the jar. I put the jar in my dehydrator and set it at
95 degrees and left it there for 2 weeks stirring several times a
day. After straining and squeezing the oil out of the herbs I
ended up with about 90 oz. of ointment. In figuring the cost of
everything it took to make it including shipping, the actual cost of
the ointment ended up being about $1.00 per ounce. We
aren’t selling this, I’m just saying that if you wanted to
make up a batch for your family, it is certainly affordable and
considering the longer shelf life of Coconut Oil it would be well worth
it. Both my husband and I are enjoying using it and it will be
interesting to see how long it will take us to go through our new
supply. The photos show the herbs with the oil in the
dehydrator, then with the herbs strained out, wow it's really dark.
The last photo is after it had solidified. Coconut oil is
clear when it is liquid and white when it is solid.
Just one more quick Coconut Oil story, because I had a really
good experience with it this week. I have had problems with
getting ulcers on the corneas of my eyes for the past 13 years.
This isn’t something that I have been able to clear up with the Herbal Eyebright eyewash,
though it does a lot of healing when my eye is not having this issue.
I end up going to the eye doctor for prescription
I have found that with education that we as parents can very
competently take care of many of the health issues that arise within
our homes. The School of Natural Healing has a special on their Family Herbalist online course
for only $100.00, a savings of $395.00. Don’t miss out on
this great
opportunity to gain the knowledge to take care of yourself and your
family. eye drops of varying types for these ulcers. On
Monday the 19th of January I felt the problem coming on, so I started
on the prescription eye drops that I had at home. The left eye
started feeling good after about 8 hours but the right eye didn’t
make any change for the better. This type of a problem is very
painful and makes me very light sensitive to the point that I pull all
the shades down and wear sunglasses indoors. By Friday I was
about to run out of the eye drops so I went into the doctor to get a
prescription. I was puzzled that she gave me the same stuff,
since I had been using it all week, but filled it and used it over the
weekend. By the time Monday rolled around things were much worse,
so I went back in and she put me on something new. The new
prescription stung like crazy and she wanted me to use it 5 to 7 times
a day for a week. By the next morning my eye was so much worse
that I went in again. She took me off that and wanted to put me
on an Anti-Viral drug by mouth and just use a good eye drop to keep my
eye moist. I didn’t feel good about the drug and since I
know that Coconut Oil is anti-viral, antibiotic, anti-fungal I
decided that I would just go home and start eating oil. I took 6
tablespoons of oil throughout the day, and I did a compress on my right
eye with the Coconut Oil and a heating pad over it for 2 hours in the
morning and one hour that night. My eye felt pretty good by the
time I went to bed and in the morning my eye felt great but still
looked pretty ugly. I continued to eat the oil 3 tablespoons over
the day and did the compress in the morning and night. The
swelling came down throughout the day and the next morning my eye was
just pink. I have to say that my eyes feel better than they have in a
long time. I plan on staying on the maintenance dose of 3
tablespoons internally, which Bruce Fife recommends in his book Coconut Cures
and he states that this dosage will prevent many diseases.
The next time I feel this problem coming on again I will take the short
cut and eat more Coconut Oil and do the compress.
The flat rate shipping for Coconut Oil will continue throughout the year $10.00 UPS ground shipping for up to 4 gallons of oil.
