Eurypegasus draconis is traded as a marine medicinal that is a lower-cost option for maladies often treated by seahorses and pipefishes (Vincent 1997). Live sea moths are also sold in the aquarium trade (Vincent 1997, Pajaro et al. 2004).
Most head lice shampoos that contain coconut oil also contain anise seed, ylang ylang and isopropyl alcohol. These shampoos have a very strong licorice scent due to the anise seed. The coconut oil kills the adult lice and the newly hatched nymphs, but not the eggs, so combing is still necessary. Shampooing and combing should be repeated a minimum of four times, with each shampoo being done three days apart.
Coconut oil has effective antifungal properties that can kill the fungi responsible for yeast infections. 1  Externally apply coconut oil on the affected areas three times a day. 2  You can also make a mixture of equal amounts of coconut oil and cinnamon oil. Apply it on the affected skin area to control the growth of the infection. 2  In case of oral thrush, swish the oil in your mouth for five to 10 minutes. 3  You can also add a few drops of tea tree oil or cinnamon oil and then use. 4  Do not swallow.
