Coconut, (Cocos nucifera) is a very important plant which produces a lot of useful raw materials such as coconut fruit and coconut oil. Coconut oil is produced by crushing the dried kernel of the coconut which is often referred to as copra.
The copra has about 60–65% oil, and the oil has about 92% saturated fatty acids in the form of triglycerides. At room temperature, saturated fats are usually solid. Different parts of coconut oil are used in medicine. For example, lauric acid is used to treat viral infections and butyric acid is used to treat cancer. About 70% of the world’s coconut oil comes from the Philippines and Indonesia.
Depending on how it is made, coconut oil comes in different forms. You can make coconut oil from dry coconuts or by using a solvent. Virgin coconut oil, which comes from wet coconuts, is thought to be the healthiest choice. People have used it as a home remedy for skin problems in the past.

Every year a minimum of 140 million cases of chicken pox is recorded globally. In Ghana, a report from 2003 stated that this disease was among the top ten leading causes of out-patient attendance at the 37 Military hospital in Accra.
Since 1995, the Varicella vaccine has been given to children who are 12 months of age, however, this vaccine is not common in Africa. When a child gets infected with chicken pox, in addition to the financial and medical implications, there are also social consequences and most children are unable to attend school or show up in public places for a few weeks.
There are several medications which can be given to relieve chicken pox, however, in developing countries, a natural medication such as coconut oil has been proven to reduce inflammation and soothe the skin.

In less common cases, the disease can lead to raised scars (hypertrophic scars) as a result of overproduction of collagen. This phenomenon is common in individuals who have a genetic predisposition, and the body goes into overdrive during the repair phase.
