Locally crafted and celebrated for its unique flavour and strong aroma, Feni is more than just an alcoholic beverage-it has been traditionally used for various health purposes by the local communities. Here's a look at some of the medicinal benefits attributed to this iconic Goan spirit.
Digestive Aid
One of the most common traditional uses of Feni is as a digestive aid. The high alcohol content and the organic compounds present in Feni are believed to help in digestion.
