I can only speak about my personal experience with coconut oil. I love coconut oil. I use it as a makeup remover, a moisturizer for skin and hair. Coconut oil  has also whitened my teeth with regular use. I never need to purchase whitening strips. I was watching this one health program about the benefits of coconut oil and they mentioned that coconut oil can also grow your eyelashes. I did not believe it at the time, however after two months of personally trying it my eyelashes are super healthy and are definitely longer!!! You can also eat coconut oil and cook with it as well. The health benefits are amazing. It also comes in pill form. I purchase the Kirkland coconut oil brand from Costco.

Wow! Whitens teeth and grows eyelashes? Is there a particular method for teeth whitening? And for eyelashes? I  wonder if that also means it helps grow hair...?

 haimsterette, For whitening your teeth with coconut oil, you can take a Tablespoon of coconut oil and swish it around in your mouth for 5 to 10 minutes after brushing your teeth with toothpaste everyday, however I got grossed out by doing it that way. I found for me, it is better to just put a small amount on the end of my tooth brush everyday, after brushing  my teeth and brush my teeth with the coconut oil. As far as growing my eyelashes, after taking my makeup off at night I use a Q-tip and a very small amount of coconut oil and apply a very thin layer over my top eye lid close to my eyelashes. I'm not sure if  coconut oil will grow hair on your head, but it is a great weekly deep conditioner! At least in my case.

Thanks for the info! I'll be trying that! :)
