remember when I was younger, my grandma would use this oil, commonly called “ori” to lubricate the anus of any of us who suffered constipation. It was also used as a cream because of its high content of vitamin E and A (although unknown to the village folk). This made the skin of its user look healthy and glow.

While the overall health benefits of palm kernel oil may not be overwhelming, there are benefits that are touted by the commercial food industry.
