Is Noni Juice a Miracle Cure?

While Noni Juice is not a miracle cure for any ailment, it has been proven to have far reaching help benefits and have improved the lives of those suffering from various chronic conditions.

In China, Samoa, Japan, and Tahiti, various parts of the Noni plant, including the leaves, flowers, fruits, bark, and roots are used as tonics and to contain fever, treat eye and skin problems, treat gum and throat problems and to treat constipation, stomach pain, and respiratory difficulties. In Malaysia, heated Noni leaves are applied to the chest to relieve coughs, nausea, and colic.

Throughout Indochina, the Noni fruit is taken for asthma, lumbago, and dysentery. As for external uses, unripe fruits are pounded then mixed with salt and applied to cuts and broken bones. In Hawaii, ripe fruits are applied to draw out pus from an infected boil. The green fruit, leaves and the root have traditionally been used to treat menstrual cramps and irregularities, among other symptoms, while the root has also been used to treat urinary problems.

Noni bark produces a brownish-purplish dye which is used for batik making and, on the Indonesian island of Java; the plant is cultivated for this purpose. In Hawaii, yellowish dye is extracted from the root in order to dye cloth. In Surinam and other countries, the tree serves as a wind-break, as support for vines and as shade trees for coffee bushes. The fruit is used as a shampoo in Malaysia, where it is said to be helpful against head lice.

Recent studies have also shown that oil from Noni seeds is abundant in Linoleic acid, which, when applied topically, acts as an anti-inflammatory, acne reducer, and moisture retention agent. Scientific studies have also investigated Noni's effect on the growth of cancerous tissues and have shown Noni inhibited and reduced growth of the capillary vessels sprouting from human breast tumors causing the existing vessels to rapidly degenerate.

Another study showed that at least one brand of Noni juice prevented the formation of cancer cells in rats.
