Noni is revered as an immune system modulator- bringing about homeostasis (balance) to the body by modifying its protective field. This can also be explained as an immune system adaptogen: Helping the immune system 'adapt' to stress and making the necessary adjustments to fight illness and disease.
Polynesians have traditionally used juice from the fruit of the noni tree to treat everything from high blood pressure to arthritis and infertility, and it has even been linked to the control of cancerous tumors. Cancer research on the effects of noni at The University of Hawaii in the departments of pharmacology and medicine determined that noni seemed to suppress the tumor growth indirectly, by activating the host's immune system.
Through out the years, noni has been found to aid or prevent: Hair loss, Diabetes, Candida, Parasites, Constipation, Autism, Infertility, E.Coli, Arteriosclerosis, Asthma, Arthritis, Poisoning, Chronic illness & disease, Cancer, Influenza, Flu, the Common Cold, Senility, Drug addiction, Epstein Bar, and Kidney problems.


"The Pharmacologically Active Ingredient of Noni", a research paper published by R. M . Heinicke in 1985, credited noni's healing properties to the enzyme xeronine. He found that to get the benefits of the enzyme, noni needed to be taken on an empty stomach otherwise the enzyme did not survive the digestive juices of the stomach. He also discovered the powerful anti-fungal caprylic acid, in noni. Caprylic acid has been found beneficial in controlling the over growth of yeast in the body.
Noni is known in many countries as the tree of life, because it offers its fruit, flowers, leaves, roots, bark and seeds, as medicine to heal our bodies allowing us opportunity for a long and healthy life.
In 1951, a Filipino research paper listed thirty-two uses for noni from around the world. Another research paper in Tonga boasts noni to be the "most widely used medicinal plant of ancient Polynesia". The Indonesian Journal of Ethnopharmacology, explains that "Traditional remedies [using noni] have been selected over generations for efficacy by trial an error". A 78 year-old kupuna (respected elder) uses noni instead of insulin for diabetes. Some topical uses for noni include applying to joint and muscle injuries, rashes, and skin sores such as ringworm.
Herbalists and Native healers still suggest noni juice for ailments and diseases- from hair loss, tuberculosis, and asthma to premenstrual syndrome, bee strings, jetlag and detoxification.
Healers from around the world agree that noni is far more potent when the plants are grown and harvested in the Hawaiian tradition and the products prepared with respect, and prayer.
