First dehusk the coconut, then remove the remaining fibre part and smoothen the shell surface. Now wash the coconut to remove dust particle after smoothening the surface. Usually the coconut oil will have cleaning process at the time of manufacturing. But virgin coconut oil does not under go any sort of cleaning process while making. Therefore cleanliness in every stage is important before the production starts. Now once the cleaning is over, carefully break all the coconut and keep it as layers on a hamper. Collect the coconut water while breaking and keep it separately. Don't waste it. This can be used to produce vinegar, cool drinks, and squash. Now scrape the coconuts using scraper. Extract milk from the coconut scrapes by squeezing it. Add some water bamd stir it well before squeezing.

Filter the coconut milk and pour it into a bronze vessel. Heat this coconut milk till it get boiled. Stir it slowly and continuously. When it boiled well the flame can be reduced. Oil become visible when the water from milk is evaporated. Now you can feel a good smell of fresh coconut oil. The oil is actually separated from water content and solid substances.

When the oil gets gold color, the vessel can be moved from the stove or hearth. Usage of melted coconut oil has been recommend by our Ayurvedic Gurus about 5000 years ago. Medium fatty acids and monoglycerides which are present in breast milk are also present in virgin coconut oil. After breast milk, melted coconut oil is the second most source of loric acid. Loric acid can kill disease causing organisms like bacteria and virus. Recent studies are proved that regular consumption of virgin/melted coconut oil can resistant power against diseases like cancer. Our forefathers used this oil to apply on head and body and also applied on babies' body to take bath. This helps to prevent wrinkles on skin and keep young. Melted coconut oil is 100% pure, organic and natural. Western countries call it 'Virgin'. It has been proven that consuming virgin coconut oil will help to increase immune power in AIDS patients. It also accelerate usage of sugar in blood and increases production of insulin. This is good for diabetic patients too. Virgin coconut oil can give energy instantly after consuming so this is a favourite food of athletes. Virgin coconut oil can be used as food, medicine and beauty enhancer.
