COCONUT WATER ALSO HAS THE BACKING OF THE ANCIENT WISDOM OF AYURVEDA!!

• The Council of Maharishi Ayurveda Physicians. Coconut is considered a divine plant in the Vedic tradition. Whenever you perform a sacred ceremony like a yagya, a coconut must grace the occasion. Thus, the coconut enjoys the hallowed status of a select few herbs and fruits-like holy basil and amla-in the Vedic tradition.
  
  
• This type is 90 to 95 percent water. The liquid from this coconut is at its purest and most healing. It is considered the best for its cooling properties, for it is a proven pitta-pacifier. While unclogging the body's channels, tender coconut water lubricates the dryness caused by ama. It repairs the gastro-intestinal tract, and its snigdha or sweet quality gives it a pranaropana-life-restoring-capacity.
  
  
• Ayurvedic literature is full of praise for the tender coconut. Ayurveda's revered ancient healer, Sushruta, noted that tender coconuts are "bal maans prada" in nature. That is, they strengthen muscle, the cardiovascular system, and the seven body tissues. Middle-aged coconuts are also said to possess these healing properties. Both kinds help cleanse the urinary tract.
  
  
• Charaka, who is widely credited as being the founding father of ayurveda, as having observed that tender and half-mature coconuts have "bringhan, snigdha, seetani, balyani, Madurani " properties. Which means they increase the quantity and quality of all 7 tissues, they are vata-pacifying in nature because of their unctuous qualities, they cool and strengthen, and are filled with sweetness.
  
  
• To this, Bhav Mishra adds that "komal narikelam nihanti pitta jwar pitta dosha." That is, the tender coconut helps get rid of any heat related to pitta aggravation, and alleviates any pitta-related disorders.
