Reasons to Always have Dark Palm Kernel oil at Home


Introduction.
Palm kernel oil is one oil to have at home always. Though it  may not look attractive but it can save a life threatening situations like convulsions, stroke and other complications arising from other factors or inflammations.

Here are some Reasons why you Should have this oil always at home

Palm kernel oil is rich in antioxidants. Many people have
discovered that the active substance may have the ability
to reverse blockage of the carotid artery and platelet
aggregation thereby reducing the risk of life treating
diseases.

Palm kernel oil which is extracted from palm fruit and have a strong black color with a strong taste. It is mostly used in the eastern region of Nigeria. Palm kernel oil have a lot of benefits and can be used for different purposes.
It is used to manage convulsion in children and can be used to reduce the effect of epilepsy attack .

For Constipation: 

Palm kernel oil is also used to soften the anus of a person who find it difficult in toileting. i.e experiencing pain during passing out stool. I have personally found it beneficial in this regard. Just a little on the fontanel releases the stool for me.
Black oil is used in children during delivery. It is traditionally believed to help avoid body odour when they grow up and make the skin of the baby
shinning.

For Cough: 

Palm kernel oil is used to soften the throat during the
first stage of cough.
It can also help manage stroke and retard tumor progression.
Arteriosclerosis and other heart disease problems. This is thus one of the health benefits of palm kernel oil as it is rich in unsaturated fatty acid. Tocotrienols present in palm oil may also inhibit certain
types of cancer.

For Cholestérol Réduction: 

Palm kernel oil increases ‘good’
cholesterol as compared to other saturated oils such as red palm oil. Thus the health benefits of palm kernel oil also include promoting health of people with cardiovascular issue.  Even when massaged on hands and feet, it still brings reduction and relief to cholesterol.  I personally noticed that if a wound or certain infection such as athletes foot  is taking to long to heal, sometimes, it may be due to much bad cholesterol which may reduce blood circulation to the area and using black kernel oil is beneficial also in such cases.

For Massage during recovery from stroke

Always use it cautiously or mixed with Afrian Shea Butter for massage in case of stroke and other inflammations,  You can rub it around your belly button to relieve you of constipation and several other benefits

For Nerve Pain,

 You can also mix it with shea butter for massage around the affected area.

For Feet, Hands and Joint Massage 

If I suspect poor blood circulation or general sluggishness around me, I put few drops in my hands and massage both hands and feet and can Feel the heat as a result of the lauric acid content in the oil as it travels around the entire body, lowering cholesterol and getting things working again generally.

In Summary:

There are times when you feel you don't need the oil even around you like during diarrhoea, if you use or rub the oil, it may get worse because of the way it works.  So use it only when needed and you realise its an oil to always have at home, best during emergency and confusing situation 🤔.   It works.
