Yes, coconut milk is good for the health when eaten moderately. It is made from grated, soaked and strained flesh of brown coconut.

Coconut milk may help reduce risk of inflammation, fight diseases-causing viruses and bacteria, as well as reduce the severity of stomach ulcers. However, coconut is calorie-dense and contains saturated. It must be taken moderately.
