Uses and types of Coconut Oil (Cooking or Body Use)?

[Sapphires]

I have been hearing there are a lot of different uses for coconut oil other than for cooking. I was wondering if there is 2 different kinds of coconut oil, such as one for cooking and one for your body? Or is there just one type and you can use it for cooking and for your body? I have heard of people using it in their hair, as a skin moisturizer, on cuts and scrapes, etc.....

* Head lice. Developing research shows that a spray containing coconut oil, anise oil, and ylang ylang oil appears to be effective for treating head lice in children. It seems to work about as well as a spray containing chemical insecticides.
* Psoriasis. Applying coconut oil to the skin before treatment of psoriasis with ultraviolet B (UVB) or psoralen and ultraviolet A (PUVA) light therapy doesn't seem to improve effectiveness of the treatment.
* Heart disease. A study in India suggested that eating coconut or taking coconut oil doesn’t seem to affect the chances of having a heart attack or developing chest pain (angina).
* Weight loss.
* High cholesterol.
* Diabetes.
* Chronic fatigue.
* Crohn's disease.
* Irritable bowel syndrome.
* Thyroid conditions.
* Other conditions.

More evidence is needed to rate the effectiveness of coconut oil for these uses.
