What
is Noni? The Fijian Noni plant (Morinda Citifolia) is technically an
evergreen shrub or bush, which can grow to heights of fifteen to
twenty feet. It has rigid, coarse branches which bear dark, oval,
glossy leaves. Small white fragrant flowers bloom out of
cluster-like pods which bear creamy-white coloured fruit. The fruit
is fleshy and gel-like when ripened, resembling a small breadfruit.
The flesh of the fruit is characteristically bitter, and when
completely ripe produces a rancid and very distinctive odour. Noni
plant has buoyant seeds that can float for months in ocean bodies.
The wood of the Morinda tree is known for its hardness, resistance
to salt and very lovely grain.
The Fijian Noni plant possesses a wide variety of
medicinal properties which originate from its differing plant
components. The fruit and leaves of the shrub exert antibacterial
activities. Its roots promote the expulsion of mucus and the
shrinkage of swollen membranes making it an ideal therapeutic for
nasal congestion, lung infections, and haemorrhoids. Noni plant root
compounds have also shown natural sedative properties as well as the
ability to lower blood pressure. Leaf extracts are able to inhibit
excessive blood flow or to inhibit the formation of blood clots.
Noni plant is particularly useful for its ability to treat painful
joint conditions and to resolve skin inflammations. Many people
drink Noni fruit extracts in juice form for hypertension, painful
menstruation, arthritis, gastric ulcers, diabetes, and depression.
Recent studies suggest that its anticancer activity should also be
considered. Studies and surveys combined support the ability of Noni
plant to act as an immunostimulant, inhibit the growth of certain
tumours, enhance and normalize cellular function and boost tissue
regeneration. It is considered a powerful blood purifier and
contributor to overall homeostasis.
In Fiji, the Noni plant is used for a variety of
properties such as an antibacterial, analgesic, antioxidant,
anticatarrhal, anti-inflammatory, astringent, emollient,
emmenagogue, laxative, sedative, hypotensive (lowers blood
pressure), blood purifier, and tonic.
