Coconut water has been used for re-hydration and as a health and beauty aide in tropical regions around the world for centuries. Coconut water is low in fat and calories, has no cholesterol, and has a natural balance of sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium- making it a healthy electrolyte drink. It has even been used intravenously to stabilize electrolytes. Many people know of the healing benefits of coconut oil. Coconut water now joins the pantry’s medicine cabinet. Coconuts are anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-microbial. The lauric acid in coconuts is also used to heal digestive tract disorders such as Leaky Gut Syndrome. According to ayurvedic belief, coconut is carminative: meaning that it helps to prevent intestinal gas, aids in removing toxins and increases the digestive tract’s ability to absorb nutrients. Coconut balances acid levels and flushes toxins out. Ayurveda considers coconut a natural stress-buster. The calming, cooling benefits of coconut water relieves burning sensations and hot flashes and “restores emotional stability in menopausal women”. This property of coconut water also makes it an excellent choice for liver problems, hepatitis or inflammation. Since it regulates the functioning of the intestine, the coconut water propitiates to the user a smoother and pretty skin. Beyond ingested, the coconut water can also be used directly on the face, for skin hydration. Around the world women have used coconut products on their hair and skin as well as consuming it.

Thank you for sharing, I never knew this before, so it is very good to know, next time I go to the supermarket I will look out for it, although I am not sure that it will be readily available in the UK. I wonder if eating coconut in solid form is just as good for you, as I love coconut.

Drinking coconut water has probably saved me thousands of money in medical bills. I may not understand much about how it helps in different ailments cure, but am pretty sure that it does a lot of medical wonder. Imagine, by drinking fresh coconut water, it will cool your body temperature.

You have given such a wonderful information about the uses of coconut oil. It is a common practice to apply coconut oil on the scalp and also on other parts of the body where there is inflation. The scalp as well as hair gets nourished with the contents of the oil. Drinking the tender coconut water will clean our digestive track.

Thanks for the information ..We all know that coconut water is so good for the health specially in summer but still many of us drink those cold drinks which are just the opposite to our health.Really we eat & drink toxics & when our body reacts in way of diseases we tend to wonder why i have disease.

Thank you for updating us the beneficial effects of coconut water to our bodies. I believe that it is the wonder drink that we need to boost our body defense system to fight against any forms of illnesses from simple headache or pain to more complex diseases of the kidney, liver and blood. I have been taking the coconut water for sometime now to maintain my bllod pressure and kidney functioning. I feel the great effects on my health when ever I drink 2-3 liters of coconut water per week.

Natural foods like the coconut are always better to the human kind than the other artificial drinks. I saw recently that the coconut water are being sold packed in the small packets, which may not be fresh and good at all.
