The King Fruit Resources

                                                                          
Durian lovers enjoy the many exotic aroma and taste of the King Fruit.  But how many are aware of its real value in terms of its medical and resourcefulness.

The Dried Peel can be use for fuel.

The Peri Carp oil can be use to cure skin ailments.

The Leaf is use in medicinal bath for jaundice and sclera of eyes and can also be applied for skin swellings.

Roots and Leaf decoction can bring down fever.

The coarse, light wood from the trees though not durable, can be use for building houses, paneling and for making cheaper types of furniture.  It is also excellent for making packaging cases when impregnated with preservative because of its being strong and light.
