Amazing Health Benefits of Noni

Morinda citrifola, commonly known as great morinda, Indian mulberry, nunaakai

(Tamil Nadu, India), dog dumpling (Barbados), mengkudu (Indonesia and

Malaysia), apatot (Philippines), kumudu (Bali), pace (Java), beach mulberry,

cheese fruit, or noni (Hawaii), is a fruit native to Southeast Asia and Australasia.

It is green at rst, then turns yellow as it ripens, giving off a pungent odor.

Weaver ants are attracted to it, which protects the plant from plant-parasitic

insects.

It is most commonly sold in juice form. There are different types, such as

unsweetened, sweetened, diluted with grape or other berry juices, or even noni

powder mixed with water or juice. The best kind would be unsweetened, with

pulp. Additives such as sweeteners and preservatives will cancel out the effects it

has on your body, making it redundant; the pulp contains the most nutrients.

Noni has a bad reputation of being a spam product, from ads saying that it is a

cure-all. This is not true, and most of the products on the market are indeed

hurting more than helping.

Amazing Health Benefits of Noni

Nevertheless, noni may be what you are looking for to help alleviate pain or boost

your immune system. Here are the 10 most important bene ts this fruit has in

detail.

1. Analgesic – Noni has the nicknames of “The Tree For Headaches” or “The

Painkiller Tree”. Studies have shown that noni reduced pain comparable to the

drugs tramadol and hydrocortisone, making it effective for arthritic and other

joint pains.

2. Immune system booster – Noni activates macrophages and strengthens the

immune system, which then produces more lymphocytes. It also contains

antibacterial agents that ght infectious bacteria, including Staphylococcus

aureus and Escherichia coli.

3. Antidepressant/sedative – Noni stimulates seratonin and melatonin, two very

important hormones. Seratonin affects mood, emotions, and sleep; imbalance in

levels of serotonin may contribute to depression. Melatonin regulates the

Circadian rhythm, which helps you sleep; keeping this regular will help you get a

good night’s rest, also improving your mood.

4. Skincare/hair – Noni’s properties are useful on skin and scalp conditions, such

as eczema and ringworm; also rubbed on scalp for lustrous hair; and will keep

your skin young. Just rub some juice on affected skin/scalp, leave on for 15

minutes, rinse off. Ingestion of juice may help your nails to grow stronger.

5. Anti-tumor/anti-cancer – Noni stimulates the production of nitric oxide. Nitric

oxide is an extremely useful substance, one that is at the base of many of noni’s

bene ts. In this case, it reduces tumor growth and helps your body ght against

the cancerous replication of cells. It also contains an immunomodulatory

polysaccharide rich substance known as noni-ppt that further ghts cancer. The

immune boosting properties I mentioned in an above section are also a great help.

One more thing that’s important are the amount of phytochemicals in noni that

ght cancer. Phytochemicals are found in vegetables and herbs, if eaten regularly

will build up preventive amounts. In the case of cancer already being present,

noni and other plants with high amonts will slow, stop, or totally reverse the

cancer process.

6. Hypertension – Noni is high in phytonutrients, selenium, and vitamin C, which

ghts free radical damage on blood vessel walls; scopoletin, a compound that

may lower blood pressure; it is alkaline, which keeps bodily uids from becoming

too acidic, therefore hurting free radicals. It also has proxeronine, which is

needed for the body to produce xeronine. Xeronine helps coordinate the cells to

work harmonious, lowering stress and in turn, blood pressure. Also has the amino

acid, tryptophan. When tryptophan enters the blood stream and goes to cells, it

helps produce other substances that are important, such as even more seratonin,

which is great for lowering blood pressure by way of its relaxing effect.

7. Cholesterol – Noni prevents the absorption of LDL cholesterol, thus reducing

plaque in arteries, keeping you healthy and alive longer.

8. Memory – Noni, as mentioned before, prevents absorption of cholesterol by

way of its large amount of phytosterols. This directly helps your brain stay

healthier, and plaque does not build up in arteries feeding the brain, keeping it

properly oxygenated.

9. Irritable Bowel Syndrome/constipation – Noni is high in soluble ber, which

helps ease the strain on your intestines and softens stool. Also has necessary

vitamins and minerals to keep your intestines healthy.

10. Antibacterial/antifungal/antiviral – Noni has properties to ght infections

comparable to that of prescription drugs. It contains anthraquinones, scopoletin,

and terpenes, among others all work together to fight diseases.

Health bene ts of noni juice include prevention of cancer, protection and healthy

functioning of liver maintenance of cardiovascular health, relaxed muscles, relief

from memory problems and conditions like gout a n d diabetes. The immense

antioxidant potential of noni juice exerts antipsychotic, antifungal, antibacterial

and anti-in ammatory effects which are valuable in treating conditions like

arthritis and disorders related to central nervous system.

Since thousands of years, the natural healing power of noni juice has been

esteemed for its ability to keep the skin healthy, boost energy levels and prevent

general body weakness, accelerates wound healing and toughens the immune

defense system of the body.

Noni juice is derived from the fruit of a small evergreen plant called noni, also

known as Indian mulberry normally found in global subtropics and tropics.

Botanical name Morinda citrifolia, noni belongs to the Rubiaceae family and is

privileged as the ‘queen’ of the Morinda genus owing to its conspicuous

attributes, versatile nature and distinctive capability of spreading itself usually on

the seashores without requiring much human intervention. It is often one of the

earliest species which grow on the freshly deposited lava ows typically in

Hawaiian regions.

The historic beginning and geographic dissemination of noni juice in the paci c

islands traces back to thousands of years. Until the later part of twentieth

century, noni plant was just used for dyeing clothes before its intriguing

therapeutic value took its position at the forefront of alternative medication.

Since then it has been admired as a focus of the Polynesian conventional

medicine and is deliberated as a sacred healer among the Hawaiians for every

plausible imbalance. In the recent years, noni juice has been a part of discussions

and speculations globally attributing to its unique healing characteristics

however, its true therapeutic potential is yet to be discovered.

Noni tree is more like a shrub or small tree with its height ranging from 3-10 m. It

has rounded branches, dark shiny leaves, reddish-brown seeds, small groupings

of edible white owers which in due course progress into a few-inches long,

potato or egg-shaped greenish white fruit carved with many round grooves.

Nutrition Value of Noni juiceNoni juice offers an impressive gamut of healthful vitamins, minerals and other

phytonutrients. Vitamin content of noni juice include vitamin B1 (thiamine),

vitamin B2 (ribo avin), vitamin B3(niacin), Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid ),

vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin C (ascorbic acid), folate, vitamin E (alpha-

tocopherol) and beta-carotene. Mineral content present in noni juice include

calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron and phosphorus. Along with this, the

abundance of natural chemical constituents and an inspiring range of

antioxidants such as quercetin, vanillin, pinoresinol, proxeronine, kaempferol,

isoscopoletin, bisdemethylpinoresinol and scopoletin accentuate the entire

nutritional value of the noni juice.

Health Benefits of Noni JuiceA long-established cure, noni is a plant with multiple benefits ranging from

traditional usage of its wood for making tools to its juice being used as a rst aid

or for treating critical illnesses. Healing effects of noni juice for various medical

conditions have been discussed as under:

Antioxidant potential: Noni juice has a tremendous anti-oxidative potential

which seeks out for the oxygen free radicals and neutralize their negative effects.

A research conducted on the patients with heavy smoking habits making them

vulnerable to many diseases have advocated the protective effect of noni juice in

improving the radical scavenging potential of their bodies and providing relief

from the diseases caused by oxidative stress.

Cancer: The anti-cancer qualities of noni juice have been traditionally trusted and

advocated by the modern science. Various clinical and laboratory research have

suggested the chemo-preventive properties of noni juice in the prevention of

various cancers such as lung cancer, liver cancer and renal cancer owing to the

abundance of healing antioxidants. As supported by another scienti c nding,

effectiveness of noni juice in reducing the risk of cancer attributes to its ability to

block the carcinogen-DNA binding and prevent adduct formation. Furthermore

evidences have revealed the ef cacy of noni juice in retarding the tumor growth

in mammary glands by signi cantly decreasing the weight and volume of the

tumors in the subjects.

More than two-thirds (68.8 percent) of adults are considered to be overweight orobese. More than one-third (35.7 percent) of adults are considered to be obese. Morethan 1 in 20 (6.3 percent) have extreme obesity. Almost 3 in 4 men (74 percent) areconsidered to be overweight or obese.

Gout: Morinda Citrifolia or noni juice extends its therapeutic effects in curing

gout. The effectiveness of noni juice in curing such diseases attributes to its

inhibitory action on the xanthine oxidase enzymes which are implicated in gout

and its associated problems. Scienti c research has also supported this curative

effect of noni juice which has been in practice from over thousands of years.

Antispasmodic effect on muscles: Consumption of noni juice may help create a

relaxing effect on the muscles. Research studies have revealed the antispasmodic

properties of noni juice possibly attributing to the blockade of voltage-dependent

calcium channels and secretion of intracellular calcium content in the body. It

helps in suppressing the muscles spasms and soothes the associated pain and

discomfort.

Cardiovascular health: Noni juice may prove valuable in maintaining

cardiovascular health. Noni juice exerts dilating effects on the blood vessels by

comforting the smooth muscles cells within the cells walls resulting in a better

ow of blood in the arteries. This vasodilating effect of noni juice helps regulate

the blood pressure and assists in maintaining a healthy heart. Furthermore,

research has demonstrated the positive effects of noni juice on the lipid pro les

which are again a major aspect in the maintenance of cardiac health. It may

bene t in reducing the LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, total cholesterol content,

homocysteine and improves HDL (good) cholesterol levels in the body.

General body fatigue: Noni juice is a time-honored medicine and was

traditionally used by Polynesians to combat general body weakness and

advancing quality of life and energy levels. Various clinical researches and studies

have shown the ergogenic qualities of noni juice which helps in enhancing the

tolerance, elasticity and overall physical performance of the body.

Liver protection: Noni fruit is also known for its effectiveness in protecting

against the liver diseases. As supported by research study, noni juice exercises

hepato-protective effects on the liver which assists in protecting the organ from

exposures to chronic exogenous chemicals and defends against major illnesses

like liver damage.

Anti-psychotic qualities: Noni juice has been historically utilized for treating a

range of ailments including the disorders related to central nervous system.

Studies investigating the anti-psychotic effects of noni juice have shown

signi cant improvement in the subjects especially with respect to their

behavioral issues and have demonstrated its huge potential to be used in curing

psychiatric disorders. Additionally, noni juice has also been suggested to have

therapeutic effect on the brain damage attributing to the curing power of natural

chemical components. It may assist in preventing cerebral ischemic stress

without affecting the ef cacy of good enzymes and antioxidants functioning in

the body.

Arthritis: Healing powers of noni juice brings relief in in ammatory conditions

such as arthritis. Scientific evaluation has provided qualitative evidence

regarding the analgesic traits of noni juice which helps in alleviating pain and

sensitivity thereby, reducing the joint destruction implicated in the painful

arthritis. The study also suggested that the remedial efficacy of noni juice is at par

with some of the well-known commercially available analgesic drugs.

Aid for memory impairment: Noni juice may exert protective effect in curing the

problems of memory impairment. Research studies conducted on subjects with

weakened memory functions have suggested that consumption of noni juice

encourages cerebral blood flow and helps improve memory functions.

Diabetes: Diabetic individuals may also bene t from the healing power of

Morinda citrifolia or noni extracts. This has been proven by a research study

which has shown the effectiveness of noni juice as a remedial herb for reducing

the risk of type 2 diabetes. Scienti c evidence has testi ed that consumption of

noni juice helps in reducing the level of glycosylated hemoglobin, serum

triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the body. In addition to

this, it works towards enhancing insulin sensitivity and stimulates the uptake of

glucose.

Healthy skin: Noni juice may be regarded as a natural aid in beauty and skin care.

Studies suggest that noni juice is rich in protective chemical constituents,

anthraquinones which exert collagen stimulating effects and prevents the

formation of wrinkles on the skin surface. Anti-bacterial, anti-in ammatory

properties of noni juice work at the cellular levels and are useful in curing various

skin disorders including acne, burns, allergic skin reactions and hives holistically.

The presence of essential fatty acids and high concentration of biochemical

component proxeronine, which is a precursor to the alkaloid xeronine in noni

juice supports ef cient functioning of cell membranes, tends to normalize

abnormal cells and help restores young and healthy skin.

Gastric emptying: Noni juice may prove useful through its impact on the gastric

emptying process in which the food exits the stomach and enters the duodenum.

The results from a study conducted on noni juice revealed that phytonutrients

present in noni juice delays the gastric emptying which slows down the digestion

resulting in slow discharge of sugars in the bloodstream. The study also suggests

that noni juice stimulates the release of digestive enzymes, cholecystokinin

without altering the volume of urine, feces and intestinal transit.

Wound healing: The juice of Morinda citrifolia or noni is effectual in speeding up

healing of wounds. Research study evaluating the wound curing properties of

noni juice has revealed positive results with respect to the increase in the weight

of the granulation tissues, functioning of collagen and hydroxyproline and

protein content. As mentioned above, noni juice helps in reducing the blood sugar

levels in the body which can also be correlated to the accelerated wound healing

process.

Stronger immune defense: Strengthened immune system is yet another bene t

of noni juice which accentuates its credibility. Since the earlier times noni juice

has been valued for its effectiveness in ghting infections and other ailments

attributing to the presence of valuable polysaccharides. These helpful

components stimulate the activity of white blood cells which play an important

role in exerting such protective effect. Scopoletin present in noni juice possess

anti-bacterial, antimutagenic, anti-in ammatory, antifungal and anti-histamine

properties which signi cantly contribute in sustaining the immune defense

mechanism of the body.

Noni: word of caution

Research evaluating the safety and ef cacy of noni juice has provided positive

results regarding its consumption on the dose dependent basis. However, special

cases and individual concerns require caution to be exercised. Few of the

concerns have been mentioned as under:

High potassium content: Noni juice contains a good concentration of potassium

which may interfere with various drugs used for curing high blood pressure such

as potassium-sparing diuretics and angiotensin receptor blockers. These two can

collectively result in very high levels of potassium in the body giving rise to

symptoms like nausea and cardiac arrhythmia.

Kidney problems: Basis the above mentioned reason, noni juice should not be

taken by the individuals already combating with kidney problems as it may tend

to aggravate the existing condition.

Although several studies have advocated regarding the safety of noni juice, it is

strongly recommended to consult a medical professional before considering it for

remedial measures especially during special conditions like pregnancy and

lactation. Other than that, natural caution before trying something for the rst

time always keep you better particularly when you are not aware of the allergic

reactions.

Noni: SummaryNoni juice has been prized for its medicinal nature for more than 2000 years in

Polynesia, china and India and is a major part of emerging healthcare trend.

Numerous people across the globe including the health experts have testi ed the

astounding and life-changing health related bene ts of noni juice. While the fruit

and its juice are quite popular for their therapeutic qualities, other parts of the

noni plant such as bark, leaves and roots too have a spanning history of

traditional usage in Polynesia. The bark and roots of the noni plant have been

traditionally used for dyeing purposes attributing to the presence of yellow

chemicals known as anthraquinones.

Apart from the above listed advantages, proxeronine present in noni juice is an

effective anti-in ammatory enzymes which also provides relief in symptoms of

menstrual pain and endometriosis in women. Noni juice helps elevate the mood

by stimulating the production of serotonin and prevents the condition of anxiety

and depression. It works as an ampli er for the entire endocrine system which is

positive for the functioning of thymus gland, pineal gland, adrenal glands and sex

organs for both males and females. All these health gains and medicinal features

make noni juice a potent remedy in multiple indications and promote overall

health.
