A Balm for Your Nerves Are you overly nervous and strung out? Your nerves may be parched for fats. All nerves are coated in a fatty layer called the myelin sheath, which guides nerve impulses and insulates the neuron from hyperactivity. When the fatty layer is dried out or deficient, your nerves will be easily agitated and anxious, thirsting for a balm that can ease this overstimulation. Coconut milk restores tranquility, bringing the serenity of the tropics closer to home. With its unctuous silkiness and rich enticing aroma. Coconut milk may be the ultimate 'neuron' comfort food, with a satisfaction that is 'marrow deep'. Strengthen Your Liver & Soften Your Emotions Coconut milk has a luxuriant richness that feeds you and your liver. Ayurveda suggests that an agitated liver should be moistened with fats, and pleased by sweet, delightful aromas like rose petals and coconut. By nature an ambitious organ, the liver falls victim to intense, hot blooded emotions and pitta internal heat conditions. Coconut milk replenishes a liver deficient in fats, and has special cooling properties to soothe an overheated liver. Coconut milk is heavier to digest than coconut butter and coconut oil.
