Recent studies have shown that ‘Neera ‘, a product extracted from the inflorescence of the coconut palm is beneficial for liver health and curing liver disorders. It is the unfermented sweet juice or sap obtained by tapping the unopened inflorescence of the coconut palm. Once fermented, the extract becomes toddy.
The research was conducted in Indian Institute of Science,
Bangalore which is an important scientific research institution in Asia. During
the experimental period, the researchers were able to completely cure liver
complaints caused by alcohol intake.
A toxic substance called acetaldehyde is accumulated in the liver. The cause of this accumulation is mainly due to alcohol consumption. It has been proved that Neera possesses the ability to remove this toxic substance from the liver. Research has also proved that consumption of Neera can improve the normal functioning of the liver.
