I use unrefined extra virgin coconut oil (CO) 1 teaspoon melted. If CO is solid put in microwave for 10 seconds. more if needed. It only takes a few seconds to melt it. Put solid CO in pyrex shot glass.Replied By Nybe (La, Usa) on 05/09/2011
advice: do not microwave ANYTHING you put into your body.Replied By Katherine (Les Laurentides, Quebec) on 05/23/2011
Absolutely agreed on do not put anything into your body that is microwaved. Also, it would be really unnecessary to microwave the coconut oil. It melts at 70F / 21C, so it basically melts the second you put it into your mouth.Replied By Cooldoey (Montreal, Quebec (canada)) on 07/11/2011
you do not need to melt it - it will melt the moment it hits your mouth Replied By Maryjo122 (Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada) on 09/06/2012
I have a powerpack type of thing that is the power source to my laptop, my bedroom flatscreen tv has same thing.. I put my virgin coconut oil on that and it melts within 5 minutes. I keep my coconut oil in a small glass bowl and refill it as necessary.. Therefore ensuring no rancid oil. I make sure to wash the bowl between filings also. I am just now starting to use Oil pulling, see if it helps w/ my various ailments? here's to hoping......Replied By Deborah (Macclesfield, Cheshire) on 04/17/2013
Don't heat anything that you put in body on a power source (laptop battery etc) they emit radiation...
