That is why there are many varieties of coconut oil. Before one buys coconut oil, one should be sure what that product is. Virgin Coconut oil - This coconut oil is derived without the use of any substances or methods which alter the composition of natural coconut oil. That means, virgin coconut oil is extracted from mechanical methods, as is done in Kerala, India. There, coconut oil has been produced naturally in villages since ancient times. An example of the most ancient method is an ox-powered mill. VCO ( Virgin coconut oil ) has a sharp coconutty aroma and tastes like coconut. Extra virgin coconut oil is actually a misnomer, as it is the same as virgin coconut oil. Solvent based extraction - In this method, hexane is used to extract coconut oil from the slurry. It yields more oil and is thus popular. This oil should not be used for edible purposes, and even for the skin. RBD Coconut oil - It stands for "Refined, Bleached and Deodorized". This is the most widely used coconut oil. It is not as good as virgin coconut oil, but it is ideal for cooking and cosmetic purposes. This oil has very little of the characteristic coconut aroma.Hydrogenated Coconut oil - In this oil, the small amount of unsaturated fats too are hydrogenated and thus making it unhealthy. It might contain some trans fats as well. Uses And Health BenefitsCoconut tree has been referred as "Kalpavriksha" in Indian texts, which means the all giving tree.

Coconut oil is one of the best natural things for our skin.Coconut oil for Hair Coconut oil helps to reduce protein loss in hair when applied regularly. This prevents breakage during combing of hair shafts which become weak due to loss of protein content. This is a major finding.Coconut oil can be applied directly onto wet or dry hair. However, the best benefits are availed by using it as a hot oil massage for hair. Warm the oil slightly and gently pat it onto the scalp, extending the oil along the hair shafts. Cover with a shower cap and keep for about 20 minutes. Then wash off the hair in cold water. This routine can be performed weekly to give softer but strong hair. The thickness of individual hair shaft can improve through continuous use as the protein loss is compensated for. Coconut oil for Skin Coconut oil is the best remedy for dry skin. Regular application of it quickly helps the skin shed off dead cells, crusts, peelings and any infection that might be emerging. Applying coconut oil just after shower locks the mositure inside the cells and seals it off. This makes the skin very smooth.

It also prevents the outgrowth of S.aureus bacteria which is known to colonize in skin areas affected by atopic dermatitis.Psoriasis Coconut oil is helpful in scalp psoriasis, which is a manifestation of psoriasis on the scalp. Although psoriasis is immune system related disorder, coconut oil eases off the itching and scaling on the scalp. It dissolves away dead skin cells and promotes the skin to recover. Alzheimer's Disease Although there is lack of medicinal research journals confirming the efficacy of coconut oil in treating Alzheimer's, there is a growing body of anecdotal evidence to support this. The Medium Chain Triglycerides ( MCTs) in Coconut oil, like Lauric acid, Capric acid and Caprylic acid boost brain function and prevent damage to neurons. As a result, coconut oil can be taken in small amounts in whatever food item convenient. Addition of turmeric in diet is also beneficial. Curcumin in turmeric is better absorbed in presence of fats and thus is made more bio-available. Diabetes MCTs in Coconut oil have been found to preserve insulin function . As a result, this oil is helpful in type-2 diabetes. Insulin resistance is said to occur when insulin hormone has impaired ability to regulate metabolism of carbohydrates and fats. Insulin regulates the delivery of glucose to skeletal muscle and also regulates retention of fat. As a result, improved insulin function also reduces the risk of developing obesity.Potent Natural Anti-Viral Coconut oil contains lauric acid, a medium chain fatty acid which exhibits potent anti-viral activity against lipid coated viruses in its monolaurin form. These viruses like HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C, Herpes virus and influenza viruses develop a coating made from lipds which enables them to stay undetected by the host's immune system. Monolaurin eliminated the coating, making them detectable by the immune system, and the natural killing action starts. Therefore, coconut oil is being used by many patients suffering from these viral diseases as a nutritional supplement. The dosage of coconut oil required for sufficient activity varies. Moreover, it takes months for the viral count to lower slowly. Coconut Oil and Heart Disease Consumption of virgin coconut oil lowers oxidantion of LDL cholesterol. This is attributed to the polyphenol antioxidants in virgin coconut oil. This shows that consumption of virgin form of coconut oil provides much more antioxidants and may help to improve lipid profile. However, it is important to not exceed the daily fat intake limit recommendations. Unique Metabolism of the MCTs Medium chain triglycerides, like lauric acid are absorbed directly into the portal system without any alteration. There is no need for bile salts as well. Therefore, MCTs are among the most easily absorbed nutrients. These are fed to people who have malabsorption. High concentration of MCTs in diet induces ketosis in the liver. This is beneficial in the case of intractable epilepsy. Medicinal Properties of Coconut oil according to AyurvedaCoconut grows naturally in the coastal regions.
