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, juice of noni 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.

Prevents Cancer
The anti-cancer qualities of noni juice have been traditionally trusted and
advocated by the modern science. Various clinical and laboratory research
(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11795436) have suggested the chemo-
preventive properties (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19838937) 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, e ectiveness of noni juice in reducing the risk of cancer
(https://www.organicfacts.net/home-remedies/15-ways-to-reduce-your-risk-of-
cancer.html?utm_source=internal&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=smartlinks)
attributes to its ability to block the carcinogen-DNA binding and prevent adduct
formation. Furthermore evidences have revealed the e cacy of noni juice in
retarding the tumor (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22619689) growth in
mammary glands by signi cantly decreasing the weight and volume of the tumors
in the subjects.
Cures Gout
Morinda Citrifolia or noni juice extends its therapeutic e ects in curing gout. The
e ectiveness 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 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19434757)
has also supported this curative e ect of noni juice which has been in practice
from over thousands of years.

Relieves 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
(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17604369) have shown the ergogenic
qualities of noni juice which helps in enhancing the tolerance, elasticity and overall
physical performance of the body.
Protects Liver
Noni fruit is also known for its e ectiveness in protecting against the liver
diseases. As supported by research study
(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18654853), noni juice exercises
(https://www.organicfacts.net/health-bene ts/other/health-bene ts-of-

protective e ects on the liver which assists in protecting the organ from exposures
to chronic exogenous chemicals and defends against major illnesses like liver
damage.
Controls Diabetes
Diabetic individuals may also bene t
(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22969823) from the healing power of
Morinda citrifolia or noni extracts. This has been proven by a research
(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19114402) study which has shown the
e ectiveness of noni juice as a remedial herb
(https://www.organicfacts.net/health-bene ts/herbs-and-spices?
utm_source=internal&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=smartlinks) for reducing
the risk of type 2 diabetes (https://www.organicfacts.net/home-remedies/type-2-
diabetes-symptoms-diet-cure.html?
utm_source=internal&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=smartlinks). 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.
Skin Care
Noni juice may be regarded as a natural aid in beauty and skin care. Studies
(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16379572) suggest that the juice is rich in
protective chemical constituents, anthraquinones
(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16378361) which exert collagen
stimulating e ects and prevents the formation of wrinkles on the skin surface.
Anti-bacterial, anti-in ammatory properties of noni work at the cellular levels and
are useful in curing various skin disorders including acne, burns
(https://www.organicfacts.net/burns.html?
utm_source=internal&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=smartlinks), allergic skin
reactions and hives holistically. The presence of essential fatty acids and high
concentration (https://www.organicfacts.net/home-remedies/11-ways-to-improve-
concentration.html?
utm_source=internal&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=smartlinks) of
biochemical component proxeronine (http://books.google.co.in/books?
id=1JDPSLX4E-
cC&pg=PA149&dq=noni+juice+proxeronine&hl=en&sa=X&ei=yTlfU_HZJam5iQfC0YGABA&ve
which is a precursor to the alkaloid xeronine in noni juice supports e cient
functioning of cell membranes, tends to normalize abnormal cells and help
restores young and healthy skin.
Treats GastricProblems
Noni juice may prove useful through its impact on the gastric emptying process in
which the food (https://www.organicfacts.net/food.html?
utm_source=internal&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=smartlinks) exits the
stomach and enters the duodenum. The results from a study
(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15803749) conducted on noni juice
revealed that phytonutrients present in noni juice delays the gastric emptying
which slows down the digestion (https://www.organicfacts.net/home-remedies/20-
tips-to-improve-digestive-health.html?
utm_source=internal&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=smartlinks) resulting in
slow discharge of sugars (https://www.organicfacts.net/health-
bene ts/other/jaggery-and-sugar.html?
utm_source=internal&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=smartlinks) 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.
Strengthens ImmuneSystem
Strengthened immune system is yet another bene t
(http://books.google.co.in/books?
id=r57XDbBpNnMC&pg=PA77&dq=noni+helps+in+gastric+emptying&hl=en&sa=X&ei=_p4VU
of noni juice which accentuates its credibility. Since the earlier times noni juice has
been valued for its e ectiveness 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 e ect. Scopoletin present
(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23828338) 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.
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 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17286240) 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 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19043286) 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 Summary
Noni juice has been prized for its medicinal nature
(http://books.google.co.in/books?

for more than 2000 years in Polynesia, china and India
(https://www.organicfacts.net/organic-products/organic-stores/india.html?
utm_source=internal&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=smartlinks) and is a
major part of emerging healthcare trend
(http://bioweb.uwlax.edu/bio203/2011/lomnes_sydn/medicinal.htm). Numerous
people across the globe including the health experts have testi ed the astounding
and life-changing health related bene ts of it. 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 (http://books.google.co.in/books?
id=zO7Gv4OqA2oC&pg=PA13&dq=noni+plant+for+dyeing&hl=en&sa=X&ei=zVEXUrmpBIiLrQ
known as anthraquinones.
Apart from the above listed advantages, proxeronine present in noni juice is an
e ective anti-in ammatory enzymes which also provides relief in symptoms of
menstrual pain and endometriosis in women. Noni juice helps elevate the mood
