Young coconuts contain a clear liquid called coconut water, which has attracted a lot of interest due to its inherent qualities and potential health benefits. Coconut water, which has long been used as a hydration beverage, is now valued for its diverse nutritional composition, which includes vital sugars, proteins, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and other substances that promote growth. This review provides an overview of recent studies on the physicochemical traits, medicinal qualities, and practical uses of coconut water. Research has emphasized its cardioprotective, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties as well as its possible application in the treatment of kidney disease, diabetes, and hypertension. The review also looks at how coconut water has been used historically and traditionally in medicine across cultures as a natural cure for a range of illnesses. In addition to its nutritional and therapeutic value, coconut water is being investigated for use in pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations, as well as for food preservation and biotechnological applications. The results highlight that coconut water is a multipurpose biofluid with potential uses in the health and wellness sectors, making it more than just a cool beverage. Its therapeutic potential could be further established and its commercial use expanded with further research into its bioactive compounds and mechanisms of action. To sum up, coconut water is a naturally occurring, sustainable, and biologically active resource with a variety of advantages that warrant further research and incorporation into contemporary medical procedures.
