What is Noni Fruit?

Noni fruit has gained worldwide notoriety in recent years for its
health benefits, but also as a result of how those benefits have been
exaggerated. Noni fruit is packed with nutrients – some well known, others
more mysterious – that can help you to live a healthier, longer life.
Several animal studies have shown that noni fruit can help to reduce
tumors, enhance the immune system, and relieve pain.
Scientists in both the public and private sectors have widely
demonstrated that the health benefits of noni fruit, while often wildly
exaggerated, are not to be dismissed.
Noni fruit comes from the noni tree. When ripe, a noni fruit is about
the size and color of the inside of a pear. It contains many seeds and has
a distinctive, pungent odor. It is soft and dripping with juice.
The tree grows up to 30 feet tall in a large variety of habitats:
volcanic terrains, lava-strewn coasts, clearings, and limestone crops. Its
resiliency has allowed it to spread from its native Southeast Asia to
neighboring India and the Pacific Islands, and as far as New Zealand,
Australia, and South America. Its leaves are large, dark green, shiny, and
deeply veined. Its small white flowers give rise to fruit that is bright
green when young, and yellow or white when ripe.
Over 2,000 years ago, the inhabitants of what is now known as the
Polynesian Islands domesticated the noni tree. They used all parts of the
tree as food, medicine, and dye. It is said to treat many maladies,
including constipation, diarrhea, skin inflammation, infection, mouth
sores, fever, contusions, and sprains. Many other cultures have used noni
fruit as well. For example, the Chinese have used it for the digestive
system, kidneys, heart, and liver.
Today, noni fruit is available in a wide variety of formats, including
juices, powders, capsules, even soaps and shampoos. Used in conjunction
with modern medicine, the noni fruit can be a valuable health
supplement.
