Has anyone tried coconut oil as a means of calming brake outs? Or as skin therapy to moisturize skin?

    Yes I did! It did help! I also took unrefined coconut oil pills 3 times a day and I think it helped so much. It helped with the scarring after too!

      I was taking the tablets for about a year prior to my diagnosis but stopped because it was giving me anxiety. I tried to start taking them agian to see if it indeed was the coconut pills and it was the culprit so about 6 hours later anxiety started to amp up.

      I know there are skin benefits, so Im trying it for a while to see what the benefits really are.

    My specialist dentist said that any of the oils will not be helpful,  but I did try and at first it seemed to help but not too sure in the longer run.  There are people in these forums who have found it helpful apparently for the mouth anyways.  Good luck if you try it and please let us know if it works for you.
