As per ancient Vedic and Hindu religion, Coconut tree is called as ‘Kalpa Taru’ or a wish-fulfilling divine tree. Each part of the coconut tree is used including dry leaves, fruit, stem, coconut shell etc. Coconut is offered as an auspicious token during puja or rituals. Also, as per lunar calendar, on Sharavan Purnima or full moon, fishing communities worship the ocean with rice, flowers and with coconut offerings so that the ocean can protect them during thunderstorms. Coconut is useful in urinary disorders, hyperacidity, bleeding disorders, pain induced by Pitta. It is a digestive and helps in reducing Pitta, while detoxifying the body as well.  It is best to consume coconut water during summertime or warmer seasons of the year and especially for a person who is suffering from vitiated Pitta. In India, my mother used pure coconut oil every day for maintaining long, strong, and healthy hair for us.

Almonds are a delicious strength giver and rejuvenative. They are nature’s signature brain tonic that provides nutrition to thin sense fibers which arise from the brain and pass through the neck. Almond oil and Almond milk are wonderful aphrodisiacs and contain a high concentration of Vitamin E and Magnesium. The reproductive organs benefit greatly from the use of Almonds whether it’s consumed or used externally in the form of an oil.
