NONI JUICE
Traditional Remedy
There are numerous benefits mentioned in the many testimonials sent by our satisfied customers. Gradually, a high percentage of the claims made in testimonials are being backed up by scientific research.
People with long-term chronic diseases sometimes see noni juice as a last resort. While noni juice seems to have helped many sufferers with their condition, it is recommended that noni be consumed regularly to maintain good health and avoid disease.
The benefits of noni juice can be divided into 7 broad categories:
Immune booster: Noni is considered as one of the most nutritious fruits, with many of its nutrients known to stimulate the immune system.
Digestive Stimulant: Noni juice has traditionally been used as a laxative.
Anti-oxidant: Research has shown that noni juice exhibits better antioxidant activity than grape seed extract and pycnogenol.
Analgesic: The noni tree is also knows as the ‘Painkiller and Headache tree’. Noni has been found to be 75% as effective as morphine sulphate in relieving pain, without the toxic side effects.
Anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-parasitic: With the presence of active compounds such as anthraquinones, scopoletin and terpenes, noni is effective against bacteria and fungus.
Anti-inflammatory: Noni juice has shown similar results to the newer over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs, called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Anti-tumor/ anti-cancerous: Noni juice contains noni-ppt, which has shown anti-tumor activity.
In order to obtain all the benefits of Noni juice, it has to be of the highest quality.
A substance called solic acid found in the leaves of the Noni plant has been shown to have anti-cancer properties. A Japanese study found that Noni fruit contains another substance (damnacanthal) that has some effectiveness against pre-cancerous cells. One study showed that laboratory mice with lung cancer had much longer survival times when given Noni juice daily.
Some evidence points to noni's ability to increase immune system activity. Additionally, the leaves contain chemicals that may lower blood sugar levels, as well as reduce pain and inflammation.
A French study determined that the roots of the Noni plant contain natural sedatives, while another study indicated that that Noni leaves may contain a compound that is anti-malarial and anti-parasitic. Finally, surveys of Noni users have provided anecdotal evidence of the effectiveness of Noni for cancer, strokes, diabetes, and as a general health and energy improver. Noni has been shown to contain vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

THE NONI FRUIT
Noni (botanically known as Morinda citrifolia) is a shrub or small tree in the Rubiaceae family. The plant is native to Southeast Asia but has been introduced far afield, throughout India and into the Pacific islands as far as Tahiti. Noni grows in shady forests (making it ideal for Balung Plantation), as well as on open rocky or sandy shores. It reaches maturity in about 18 months and then yields between 4-8 kg of fruit every month throughout the year. It is tolerant of saline soils, drought conditions, and secondary soils.
The fruit has a pungent odour when ripe, and is therefore sometimes known as cheese fruit. It is in oval shape and reaches 4-7 cm in size. At first green, the fruit (which contains many seeds) turns yellow then almost white as it ripens. Despite its strong smell and bitter taste, the fruit is nevertheless eaten as a famine food and, in some Pacific islands, even a staple, either raw or cooked. Southeast Asians and Australian Aborigines consume the fruit raw with salt or cook it with curry. The seeds are edible when roasted.
General Use
Traditionally, the fruit has been used for diabetes, halitosis, hemorrhoids, tumours, tuberculosis, high blood pressure and as a tonic for overall health and energy. The leaves have been ingested in remedies for arthritis, digestive problems, parasites, and dysentery. Topically, the leaves, fruit, and roots are used in poultices for arthritis and joint pain, for headaches, burns and lesions, poisonous bites and to diminish signs of aging.
Noni is used by some cancer patients for its anti-cancer and tumor-reducing possibilities. Some sufferers from immune-compromised diseases such as AIDS and chronic fatigue syndrome use noni to boost the function of the immune system.
People with diabetes and hypoglycemia have reported that noni helps stabilise blood sugar levels. Suffers of arthritis, joint pain, and inflammatory conditions have used noni. Other uses include as a sedative, painkiller, sleeping aid, removal of intestinal parasites, cleansing the digestive tract and improving digestion, and for weight control. It is used as a general health tonic to improve energy, build up resistance and to slow the effects of aging. Noni is also used for asthma; for digestive disorders including ulcers; irritable bowel syndrome; constipation and diarrhea, as well as fibromyalgia, a condition characterised by fatigue and chronic pain.
