Coconut Cocos nucifera Linn. Narikela (Coconut) is one of the most important palms, extensively cultivated in coastal India. Every part of the palm is useful - the nut, water, copra, oil, shell, husk, trunk and leaves. The coconut water (tender coconut) is extremely cooling, sweet, nutritive, and is one of the best drinks for dehydration. The mature kernel yields coconut oil which is used extensively in cooking, hair care and medicine. The cream/milk is nutritive and aphrodisiac. Tender coconut water is used in Mutrakrichhra (dysuria) and Daha (burning sensation). Coconut oil is used in skin diseases, hair care and as a base for medicated oils. Different stages of coconut have different properties - tender coconut water is lighter and more cooling while the mature kernel is heavier and more nutritive. There are many varieties of coconut palms. Chemical analysis shows the nut contains 40-50% oil in mature form. The water contains vitamins, minerals and electrolytes. Dose: Coconut water freely; oil as per need. Verses: 9.
