A woman approached me at work the other day and asked if my hair had fallen out. She told me her hair fell out when she had chemo and it grew in like mine (white) and then came in green from the radiation. She used a raw coconut oil that her brother made from Puerto Rico and she offered to bring some in for me. She said it soothed her scalp and helped re-gain pigment into her now amazingly curly hair. We had a nice discussion and two days later she came in with a jar of the oil. I couldn't believe it. It makes me so happy to see that people can be so kind. After all, I mostly notice people staring at me at the gym, wondering if I have cancer. The oil is so soothing and smells so great. I am sure it will be just as effective as the other aromatherapy oils but this one means a lot to me. It smells amazing and reminds me to be open-minded and supportive of those who may need it.
Added bonus: My cat really likes coconut oil. I had some on my hand and she kept trying to lick it off. When I realized what she wanted I put it a tiny scoop in her food bowl. She needed some kindness too ;)
