the
peoples of India and South East Asia have traditionally used Morinda
citrifolia for its therapeutic benefits as most of the plant
was known to possess medicinal properties. |
| |
|
 |
The root is
used as a cathartic and fever-reducing agent, and applied externally
to relieve pain and gout.
The leaves are considered a tonic and fever-reducer.
They're used as a healing compress or poultice for wounds and
ulceratrions of the skin. An extract of the leaves is externally
applied for gout.
The fruit itself is used for gum and throat complaints,
dysentery, leucorrhea (abnormal menstrual bleeding) and sapraemia
(poisoning of the blood by bacterial putrefaction). |

In
Thailand similar uses have been made of the noni fruit and plant
parts as part of traditional medicine. It is often used in spicy
salads. The juice itself has long been regarded as a general tonic
and useful in maintaining gastrointestinal health. |
| |
|
 |
Some have made
juice from the fruit in local areas of Thailand. Parts of the
plant are often used to make compresses or poultices to help wounds
heal faster and reduce inflammation and pain.
Using Noni Juice is very simple. The usual recommendation
is 2-4 ounces of noni juice morning and evening on an empty stomach. |

This
"custom" usage chart may be helpful to those who are
looking for a more precise amount of Traditional Noni Juice to
drink according to the condition that they wish to improve. Please
remember that in some rare cases allergic symptoms to Noni may
occur. If persistent diarrhoea or any major allergic symptoms
appear, such as hives, swelling, or difficulty in swallowing,
stop drinking noni for three days, then start drinking it again
at half the amount. If possible, slowly build back up to the more
helpful amount. If these symptoms reappear, stop drinking noni
juice. If minor hypersensitivity side effects appear, such as
belching, mild transient diarrhoea or a slight rash or itching,
then reduce the amount of noni you drink until the undesired symptoms
disappear. If these symptoms persist, stop drinking noni juice.
In both cases, notify your health professional and follow his
or her advice.' |
