The obsession that women hold for beauty has led the influx of different skin care products in the market. Many women believe that these products will make them look young and beautiful, even as they age. But, instead of opting for these chemical based beauty products, have you thought about going for something more natural and beneficial? You already know about how good coconut oil is for your hair, but did you know that it is equally useful for your skin as well. Take a look at how coconut oil works wonders for your skin.

Moisturising and anti-ageing effects

Coconut oil is a great remedy to get healthy skin. Apply some coconut oil on your skin after bathing and your skin will glow with natural nourishment. Coconut oil provides natural anti-oxidants to the skin and keeps it hydrated. Coconut oil is also helpful in strengthening the tissues beneath the skin. Coconut oil has a unique kind of fatty acid, called medium-chain fatty acid, which helps to strengthen connective tissues and also helps with exfoliation. It also helps in removing or softening wrinkles and age spots.

Medicinal benefits

Coconut oil has some great medicinal properties. Whether you have a bruise that needs taking care of or have cut yourself, coconut oil can help in taking care of all these problems. Coconut oil is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory, thus giving it some amazing healing qualities. It can take care of your bruises, bug bites, burns, allergies and many more skin problems. Most skin related diseases can be cured using coconut oil like athlete’s foot, jock itch, ringworm, rashes etc. It also causes a reduction in eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis.

Aid for beauty problems

Coconut can help in taking care of your skin and beauty problems as well. It can be used to reduce and prevent acne. Coconut oil can also help in preventing or softening stretch marks, as well as reducing under eye puffiness and wrinkles. Coconut oil is a good makeup remover, as well as a very naturally beneficial lip balm.

Adds a protective layer

Here is yet another amazing benefit of coconut oil for your skin. Coconut oil adds a protective layer to your skin. The unique fatty acids present in it, along with being an anti-oxidant, create a protective layer that acts as a barrier against germs and parasites. Not only this, it also provides an effective protective layer against the harmful effects of sun, so it can be used as a sunscreen as well. Coconut oil is a natural moisturiser for your skin that can also help in treatment of sunburns.

神奇的古书--玉历宝钞

这是一部充满玄奇的古书，人说：信则有之，不信则无。但古来却有许多人从这本古书得到离奇的感应与利益，令人不能不相信。尤其印书消除疾病，免除厄难，更加是不可想象的事情。

书里面有一句最惊骇人心的话，就是：阴阜地狱就是人间地狱。事实上，如果人人不做恶事，人间那来万般罪恶，法庭监狱不是地狱的翻版吗？但人间法院可以造假，阴阜地狱却是作恶受罚，没有疏漏。就算有权有钱也免不了受刑。

规劝诸位：诸恶莫作，众善奉行。

常见闻毒菜与不见不闻毒菜

曾与农业界朋友辩论，中国报章经常报导毒菜新闻，但我们没有，显示我们的蔬菜更加安全。

但我的看法是，中国对蔬菜残留农药的安全性控制严格，不合格的蔬菜可以被暴光，可让民众得到警惕。反而我们没有报导，让人更加担忧，而且对检测能力感到怀疑和不安。

下来，看广州的一则毒菜报导：

广州菜市场检出山东“毒姜”

　山东潍坊地区部分姜农使用剧毒农药神农丹种植生姜现象近日被曝光，占据广州销售市场七成左右的山东生姜质量如何？记者7日从广州地区规模最大的果菜批发市场——广州江南果菜批发市场获悉，该市场在八个样品中检出一个含有涕灭威成分的样品，并已根据要求立即对该批来源于山东日照地区不合格的300斤 生姜采取销毁处理。
　　江南市场方面表示，6日对场内销售山东姜的八个档口进行突击抽检，每个档口随机抽取一个样品，共抽取八份样品送往广州市农业标准与监测中心进行检测。
　　7日晚，江南市场公布广州市农业标准与监测中心的检测报告，显示有1个样品不合格，检出含有涕灭威成分，含量为0.035mg/kg，超过国标所规定的最大农残限量（GB2763-2012食品安全国家标准食品农药最大残留量中，涕灭威含量应≤0.03mg/kg）。
　　市场方面称，已根据市农业局的要求，立即对该批300斤生姜采取销毁处理，绝不流出市面；同时将对场内来源山东地区的生姜进行重点抽检，以保证食品的安全流通。
　　羊城晚报记者7日下午走访江南市场发现，市场内其他山东生姜依然正常销售。在干货交易区一家档口前，工作人员正从卡车上卸下新鲜的生姜。档主一 边登记入库产品数字一边告诉记者，其档口一年四季都销售来自山东地区的生姜。对于此次“毒生姜”被曝光，该档主称，山东种植生姜的地区很大，不能因为部分 地方的部分姜农使用剧毒农药就否定所有的山东生姜。他坦承，目前该消息已开始影响到他的生意，此前一车生姜可以在一周之内卖完，生意好的时候只需要三四天 时间，但这次的货要花多长时间清完，他心里还是个未知数。

　　专家支招
　　碱水泡姜半小时可以降低毒性
　　据专家介绍，剧毒农药神农丹的主要成分是涕灭威，50毫克就可致一个50公斤重的人死亡。按农业部规定，神农丹只能用在棉花、烟草、月季、花 生、甘薯上。据报道，山东潍坊部分农民每亩要用神农丹8公斤至20公斤，是规定用药量的3-6倍。按规定，即使在批准的作物上，在其生长周期里也最多准许 使用一次，但这里的姜农要用两次。
　　目前，广州江南市场检出神农丹的主要成分涕灭威超标，但究竟使用了何种农药还不确定。国际食品包装协会秘书长董金狮告诉记者，消费者买到生姜后，如果担心有神农丹残留，可以拿碱水或专门洗果蔬的溶剂浸泡半个小时，以降低毒性。
