Coconut oil tips for psoriasis

[Forest Walker]

That's a good idea!  I'll put some coconut oil in a dish and place it outside this afternoon and see if it attracts the wasps.     I'm putting a shower cap on my shopping list.  Thank you.

As an aside, as I use the coconut oil on my skin and scalp, the scent of it takes me directly to the kitchen of my young childhood and the first time my father brought macaroons from the local bakery.  I can see his hands opening the bakery box and handing me the cookie and can remember his explaining that it's made with coconuts. The scent must have made an impression on me because here is this lovely memory and a feeling of closeness to him, unbidden.  He most often brought home maple bars to share, but one or two times, it was macaroons.  

While growing up, my children liked the Almond Joy candy bars, which also are made with coconut.  My son is now grown and follows a vegan diet, but I include almond/coconut candies when I send my daughter care packages at university.

And now this coconut, reminiscent of sharing a sweet dessert and the affection that entails, is helping the itching and softening the rashes.  

Have I mentioned how thankful I am for this forum?  Thank you!
