Dear XXXXXXX,

Thanks for the query.

Use of coconut shell to reduce cholesterol is not well documented yet. Some people might have tried and conveyed but none of the pharmacy or ancient scripture or research has come up with positive recomendation for its extensive use. Some people have even tried to burn the shell and use the ash for medical benefits, but this mode too is devoid of expert recommendations. Some people have tried the fibers ash to be used in bleeding piles and claim cure very soon. I feel an expert cannot recommend unless established facts are found to be true and free from side effects.

Coconut water, fruit and oil have long health recommendations and work excellently

Hope this answers your query. Let me know if you have other concerns.

Dr. Rajesh Lakhanpaul
