Amrut-Kokam

Before reaching for that ubiquitous bottle of Pepsi, Coke or for that matter any cod drink, stop and remember that there are more refreshing drinks that are also healthier. One such drink is made from kokam. Read on to find out more about this versatile fruit.

Kokam or Garcinia Cambogia is an Indian spice used in many parts of the country in various vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. One of the most popular curries from Western India is solkadhi that is made with kokam. Besides, the bark of the roots, oil and fruits of kokam all find extensive medical use.

Amrut Kokam has higher amounts of antioxidants than most other fruits and vegetables that are considered powerful antioxidants, such as garlic, turmeric and blueberry. Antioxidants combat free radicals, the chemicals that destroy organs, tissues and cells in our body and cause diseases like cancer, osteoporosis, high cholesterol and arthritis.

Kokam fruits are rich in citric acid, malic acid, acetic acid, polyphenol, carbohydrates, anthocyanin colors, ascorbic acid, hydroxycitric acid (HCA) and garcinol. The seeds have between 23% and 26% oil that is yellow in color and becomes like butter on freezing. Hence it is known as kokam butter.

The fruits are soaked in sugar syrup to prepare amrut kokam, a refreshing and healthy drink. This drink is an excellent remedy for sunstroke and is very popular during summer.

The fruit has been traditionally used to treat flatulence, infections and heat strokes. Traditional Ayurvedic medicine uses the fruit in infusions to treat skin ailments like allergic rashes, chafed skin and scalds; provide relief from sunstroke; tackle dysentery and mucus diarrhea; improve appetite and quench thirst; treat bleeding piles, tumors and heart problems; and as a tonic for the heart and liver. Oil made from Kokam seeds is used as winter lotion to avoid cracking of skin.

HCA is widely used to lower cholesterol. The fruit rind has potent anti-cancer and anti-ulcer properties. Kokam paste and oil are used to hasten healing of wounds and skin problems. Its powder and decoction are useful to prevent dehydration and loss of nutrients; improve digestion and appetite; reduce constipation and provide relief from piles and anal fissures; improve the working of the liver; regulate the cardiovascular system; cleanse the blood and fight infections; and reduce fever and burning sensations that occur in the body.
