  • Kills intestinal worms 

  • Presence of saline and albumen makes it a good drink in cholera cases 

  • Checks urinary infections. 

  • Excellent tonic for the old and sick 

  • Cures malnourishment. 

  • Diuretic 

  • Effective in the treatment of kidney and urethral stones

Coconut Juice:

"It's a natural isotonic beverage with the same level of electrolytic balance as we have in our blood.  It's the fluid of life, so to speak, says Mr. Morton Satin, Chief of FAO's Agricultural Industries and Post Harvest Management Service."
