10 Benefits of MCT Oil
MCT Oil Benefit #8: Stress Relief
Applying MCT oil can be very soothing, and thus it can help reduce stress. According to research, virgin MCT oil provides longer-lasting relief from stress than medication because of its antioxidant properties. The antioxidants in MCT oil fight free-radical damage to restore damaged brain cells while the medium-chain fatty acids remove the feeling of stress.
Applying MCT oil to your head, followed by a gentle scalp and temple massage, helps eliminate mental fatigue. Make sure to look for a pure, virgin MCT oil for the best anti-stress relief. Refined MCT oil is not as effective since many natural components are lost during processing.
