Who brought the plant to those areas? Though it is not known for sure, experts believe that it could have been immigrants from the Marquesas Islands that introduced Noni to those areas. There is ample evidence to suggest that these ancient Polynesians (as well as their descendants) used Noni for food; for cloth dye; and most importantly, for its medicinal properties. Numerous papers, citing hundreds of references, show Noni to be an extremely popular plant among tropical cultures across the world. In fact, the Noni plant became so popular that it eventually was cultivated as a field crops, used for all parts of the plant. Of course, Indian natives also used Morinda Citrifolia for its fantastic therapeutic benefits: Most of the plant is reported to possess medicinal properties. The root is used as a cathartic and febrifuge (fever-reducing agent), and applied externally to relieve pain in gout. Leaves are considered a tonic and febrifuge; they are used as a healing application for wounds and ulcers; the juice of the leaves is externally applied for gout. Fruits are used for spongy gums, throat complaints, dysentery, leucorrhoea (abnormal menstrual bleeding) and sapraemia (poisoning of the blood by bacterial putrefaction)." Numerous other reports provide a detailed picture of precisely how Noni has been used throughout the years. In Fiji, the fruit is eaten either raw or cooked."Niue Islanders ate it regularly, and I have been told that the Filipinos made a jam from it, preferring the taste when it was fermented". Other sources report that Australian aborigines were very fond of the fruit. In Burma, the unripe fruits were cooked in curries, and the ripe fruits were consumed raw with salt. Even the seeds were roasted and eaten. (Noni fruits) are used in Nigeria in the treatment of fever, malaria, yellow fever, jaundice and dysentery. "Still other histories report that "The over ripe fruit is stated to be used as an emmenagogue (encourages vomiting), and is recommended by Rumpf for dysuria (painful urination) and the fruit for diabetes. The fruit is sometimes used internally in various preparations for swollen spleen, liver diseases, coughs and a slightly laxative preparation. *Most of the information in this site is from the book: "The Noni Phenomenon" by Neil Solomon The table below contains statistical analysis of the data, including primary and secondary application that Dr. Solomon obtained from surveying more than 40 doctors and other health professionals who had taken noni and/or given it to over 8,000 patients.

Dr. Neil Solomon M.D. Ph.D. Reasons to Drink Noni Juice - by Dr. Neil Solomon M.D. Ph.D. 1.Prevent and Protect Against Cancer -- Morinda citrifolia might exert a preventative and protective action against cancer during the initiation stage, which is the first phase of the formation of the cancer.

Pain is the number one complaint with arthritis. Because Noni has analgesic qualities, it can help relieve this pain. Morinda citrifolia has also been shown to contain scopoletin, which has anti-inflammatory and histamine-inhibiting effects, both of which are excellent for the promotion of smooth joint movement. The cellular-enhancing qualities of Noni may also minimize damage to the joints and other involved tissues. 3.Fights Heart Disease -- Noni juice can help with high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke. Some scientists believe that Xeronine can help promote a healthy cell structure within the circulatory system. Noni juice can also lessen the symptoms of heart disease. 4.Lowers High Blood Pressure -- In my research, 85 percent of Noni juice drinkers reported decreased blood pressure while drinking Noni juice. 5.Strengthens the Immune System -- Noni juice boosts the overall immune system of the body and helps to maintain optimal health.

This can be accomplished by Noni helping the body heal itself and because Noni can aid "sick" cells in repairing themselves. 8.Helps Control Diabetes -- Noni can aid in the regulation of insulin secretion by the pancreas, helping control diabetes. Drinking Noni may also help relieve diabetic symptoms through its ability to stimulate the body's production of nitric oxide.
