'''What Are the Benefits of Noni Fruit?'''
*Source:http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/benefits-noni-fruit-4718.html
:By Don Amerman (Demand Media)
 
Polynesian herbalists and folk medicine practitioners have long prized the greenish-white fruit of the noni tree -- known scientifically as Morinda citrifolia -- for its medicinal properties. Although the tree is believed to have originated in Southeast Asia, it grows today in most of the world’s tropical regions. What noni fruit lacks in visual appeal, it may well make up in health benefits, based on the findings of preliminary scientific studies.
 
:May Protect Against Stroke Damage
 
Drinking the juice from noni fruit may help to protect you against the damage that a stroke can cause. Researchers at Japan’s Kobe Gakuin University conducted an animal study to determine if the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of noni juice would protect laboratory mice from the brain damage caused by a temporary interruption of cerebral blood flow. Researchers divided test animals into three groups. Over the course of seven days, one group received drinking water supplemented by 3 percent noni juice, another got 10 percent noni juice in its water and a control group received untreated water. On the seventh day, researchers obstructed the flow in the test animals’ middle cerebral arteries for a period of two hours. Once normal blood flow was restored, animals that received noni juice showed less neurological deficit than those in the control group. Researchers published their findings in a 2009 issue of “Biological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin.”
 
:Analgesic Properties
 
Based on the traditional use of noni fruit to relieve the pain of inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, a team of German researchers studied the effects of noni fruit in reducing sensitivity to pain among test animals. Researchers added a 10-percent solution of freeze-concentrated noni fruit puree to the drinking water of laboratory mice, which were then subjected to pain using a hot plate test. In an article in the January 2010 issue of “Phytotherapy Research,” they reported that the noni juice produced a reduction in pain sensitivity comparable to that of tramadol, a prescription analgesic used to treat moderate to severe pain.
 
:Helps Lower Cholesterol
 
Dyslipidemia -- elevated blood levels of cholesterol -- is a major risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease. A Pakistani-Saudi research team used water- and ethanol-based extracts of noni fruit, leaves and roots to treat laboratory rats in which dyslipidemia had been induced. They found that all three extracts significantly reduced cholesterol and triglyceride levels in animals that had had dyslipidemia induced through the administration of a high-fat diet. Results were published in a 2010 issue of “Lipids in Health and Disease.”
 
:Antibacterial Properties
 
Taking their cue from the traditional use of noni fruit to treat bacterial infections, a team of Indian researchers conducted in-vitro testing to determine how effective noni fruit extracts would be against three common bacteria responsible for a variety of illnesses. Using a number of agents, including chloroform, methanol, ethanol and acetone, they prepared extracts from dried noni fruit powder. They found that all extracts exhibited moderate antibacterial activity against E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Proteus vulgaris. In a 2009 issue of “Journal of Applied Chemical Research,” researchers expressed the hope that their findings will establish a platform for further studies into noni fruit’s antibacterial properties.

'''Noni Juice'''

:By Cathy Wong, ND
 
What Should I Know About It?
 
:What is Noni Juice?
 
Noni, also known as Morinda citrifolia, is a small, flowering shrub native to the Pacific islands, Polynesia, Asia, and Australia. It grows to a height of up to 10 feet high, and the leaves are dark green and oval shaped. The flower heads grow to become mature yellow fruit that have a strong odor.
 
Noni juice is widely available as the juice or liquid concentrate. It can also be found in tablet and capsule form.
 
Other popular antioxidants include goji berry, acai berry, mangosteen, camu camu and tart cherries.
 
:Uses for Noni Juice
 
In traditional Polynesian medicine, noni (Morinda citrifolia) fruit has been used for many health conditions, such as constipation, diarrhea, skin inflammation, infection, and mouth sores. It has an unpleasant odor and taste, so it is believed to be a last resort fruit by many cultures. Manufacturers today sweeten noni juice to improve the taste.
 
Traditionally, the leaves of the noni tree were used topically for healing wounds.
 
Noni juice, like the juice of many other fruits, is a source of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. The antioxidants may help to prevent certain diseases and help slow age-related changes in the body.
 
Animal studies evaluating the effects of noni suggest that it may have anti-cancer, pain-relieving, and immune system-enhancing effects. However, these studies mostly used extremely high doses that would be difficult to obtain from taking the juice.
 
More importantly, there's insufficient reliable evidence about the safety or effectiveness of noni for any health condition in humans.
 
Noni is heavily promoted for a very wide variety of conditions, such as arthritis, atherosclerosis, bladder infections, boils, bowel conditions, burns, cancer, chronic fatigue syndrome, circulatory weakness, colds, cold sores, constipation, diabetes, drug addiction, eye inflammation, fever, fractures, gastric ulcers, gingivitis, headaches, heart disease, hypertension, improved digestion, immune weakness, indigestion, kidney disease, malaria, menstrual cramps, menstrual disorders, mouth sores, respiratory disorders, ringworm, sinusitis, skin inflammation, sprains, strokes, thrush, and wounds.
 
There is no real evidence, however, that noni is effective for these conditions.
 
:Caveats
 
Noni juice is high in potassium, so it should be avoided by people with kidney disease or those taking ,potassium-sparing diuretics, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers, because it may result in hyperkalemia (dangerous elevation of potassium levels).
 
Noni hasn't been tested for safety in pregnant women, nursing mothers, children, and those with medical conditions or who are taking medications. You can get tips on using supplements here but should always speak with your primary care provider before using supplements or alternative medicine or making a change to your regimen.

'''Mulberry In Ayurveda'''
*Source:http://homeofayurveda.org/tag/indian-mulberry/
:(Ayurveda Acharya, Kerala - Home of Ayurveda)
 
The word ‘mulberry’ is usually associated with silkworms, but the Indian Mulberry also plays an important role in Ayurveda, the world’s oldest system of holistic healing. The plant grows in many parts of India, and one variety especially does well in the southern states like Kerala, as this species flourishes in warm balmy weather. The powdered extracts from the roots, leaves and fruit of the Indian Mulberry, which is known as ‘Noni’, have been traditionally used as a sedative and for many other Ayurvedic medicinal purposes. The plant, which can grow up to 9 m tall, has large, simple, dark green, shiny and deeply veined leaves. Some species grow well well on sandy or rocky shores and apart from saline conditions, the plant also can withstand drought.
 
The Indian Mulberry has flowers and fruits all year round. The flowers are small and white. The fruit is a multiple fruit that has a pungent odor when ripening. Mulberries are eaten as fruit and are also used to make, juices, sauces, muffins, cakes, cookies, tarts, wines, ice creams, smoothies, yogurt and jam. Sherbets are made from black, red and white mulberries…and of course Mulberry leaves are the only source of food for silkworms.
 
Mulberries are a literal powerhouse of nutrition. They are very rich in Vitamins B C, K and the element iron. Good levels of fiber, riboflavin, phosphorus, copper, magnesium, potassium and calcium are also found in mulberries. They are an excellent source of the antioxidants resveratrol, zeaxanthin, lutein ,and to a lesser extent the alpha and beta carotene. The leaves contain 18 amino acids, while the fruit mulberry contains a number of phytochemicals, including lignans, oligo- and polysaccharides, flavonoids, iridoids, fatty acids, scopoletin, catechin, beta-sitosterol, damnacanthal, and alkaloids.
 
:Role in Ayurveda
 
Various parts of the Indian mulberry are used for medicinal purposes, such as containing fever, and also as a tonic. Eye problems, skin wounds, gum and throat problems, respiratory problems, constipation, stomach pains and post delivery pains are treated using its leaves, flowers, fruit and bark. The leaves are used in a gargle for throat infections, while heated leaves of the plant are applied to the chest, in order to relieve coughs, nausea and colic. The fruits are used to treat fever, depression, and sore throat as they are cooling. The bark of the Mulberry root is used as purgative and anthelmintic, while its juice is used to treat high blood pressure.
 
Mulberries are used in Ayurvedic preparations to reduce cholesterol, prevent blood clots and heart palpitations as well as to aid in weight loss, build immunity, benefit the digestive system, enhance appetite and check anemia and insomnia. Mulberry is also used in Ayurveda to soothe the nerves, relieve tiredness and fatigue. A simple home remedy for mouth ulcers and enlarged glands is to gargle with a solution of mulberry sherbet. Add 1 tsp of mulberry sherbet to a cup of water to make this solution. Interestingly, some recent studies conducted on Indian mulberry have suggested that it is capable of inhibiting the formation and growth of cancer cells. It activates the immune system of the body and has shown promise in helping combat leukemia, which is induced by retrovirus infection. So the next time you come across the word “mulberry”, don’t just think of silkworms or jams and jellies- think of Ayurveda and the myriads of ways this system of healing uses the Mulberry for your good health.

'''Benefits of noni fruit'''
*Source:http://www.deccanherald.com/content/258906/benefits-noni-fruit.html
:By Sumana Bharadwaj
 
Morinda citrifolia, Hawaiin Noni or the Indian Mulberry  is a tropical shrub from the coffee family, Rubiaceae. Although native to Southeast Asia and Australia, it is widely-grown in India in coastal regions. It can grow in different environments and is a perennial fruit.
 
Traditionally, the noni fruit and leaves have been used as folk remedies by Polynesians for over 2000 years. There is a mention of the noni fruit being used as an internal cleanser and as an effective treatment for joint aches and skin conditions in Ayurveda and Siddha texts. In recent times, however, extensive research carried out across the globe on noni’s active principles has put noni on the scientist’s radar the world over, as a fruit with immense therapeutic potential for various conditions ranging from menstrual pain to cancer prevention and noni juice as a health boosting tonic because of its exceptional nutrient content. European communities are patrons of this fruit, having officially recognised it as the “super fruit” in the UK.
 
This super fruit has over 150 phytonutrients. Phytonutrients are compounds found in plants apart from vitamins, minerals and macronutrients. Phytonutrients have anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, immune-boosting and cellular repair properties.
 
Some of the recognised phytonutrients in the noni fruit are organic compounds called anthraquinones, which act as anti-bacterial agents. Another important phytonutrient is proxeronine, precursor for xeronine, an alkaloid, which works at the molecular level, repairing damaged cells to improve functionality. Noni juice is a source of antioxidants. Further, studies have found the fruit to have central analgesic effect on the human body.
 
Clinical trials conducted at the Natural Healing Institute in California found that noni stimulates the production of T-cells in the immune system. T-cells play a pivotal role in fighting disease. The polysaccharide components in the juice are known to have both cancer-preventive and cancer-treating effects through stimulation of the immune system. It has bioactive components that make it a wonderful adaptogen, ie, the ability enhances the body’s ability to adapt to stress by targeting imbalances and normalising it without affecting normal bodily functions.
 
The noni fruit is also a rich source of Vitamin C, Vitamin A, several B complex vitamins, calcium, sulphur, potassium, phosphorous and certain essential amino acids like phenylalanine and tyrosine. 
 
The fruit has a strong odour and an unpalatable taste and hence is available only in juice form in the market.
 
Choose the right brand of juice
 
• Check the company’s sources and quality of the fruits. Local sources are better than those where the fruit or its frozen concentrates are transported across miles before processing
 
• Check the company’s processing facilities
 
• Choose juice brands without any thickeners or stabilisers which are added to maintain uniform viscosity
 
• Choose one with natural preservatives, if at all, like lemon and honey
 
• Choose one in which noni juice is the primary ingredient, not a blend of various juices as it reduces efficacy.
 
Noni juice that meets the above criteria can be taken as a therapeutic drink or as a general tonic twice a day at least 30 minutes before food for effective absorption. Ten to 15 ml is the normal dosage for adults and can be had as is or mixed in a glass of water.
 
It can be consumed by people with arthritis, high BP, diabetes, cancer, allergies, digestive problems, chronic fatigue and depression. Its high potassium content can combat kidney problems.

During a quarter-century of studying forests, one of the most amazing plants that I have ever come across is the South Pacific noni or Morinda citrifolia.
 
This small blossoming shrub with its dark glossy, one-foot-long evergreen leaves is indigenous to Tahiti, southeastern Asia and Australia. It has been introduced into China, India, parts of Africa and the Americas.
 
About 1,500 years ago the Polynesians took noni seeds with them as they colonized the South Pacific Islands, including Hawaii.
 
The noni plant produces egg-shaped fruits with indented pit-marks. Its tasteless yellowish white skin becomes near transparent when the fruit ripens. The ripened pulp, on the other hand, smells of strong cheese and the extracted pulp juice is quite bitter.
 
The fruits contain reddish-brown seeds that float in the ocean and accounts for nonis’ widespread global distribution. Noni flourishes under harsh environmental conditions including the onslaught of salt, drought, sandy Australian soils, porous volcanic Hawaiian soils and the nutrient-poor limestone soils of Guam.
 
Noni fruit was an important food source for Australian, Burmese, Fijian and Samonian Aboriginals. The red dye from the bark and yellow dye from the roots were also used extensively by these peoples in clothing.
 
Noni roots, flowers, seeds, leaves, bark and fruits are used as medicine for a host of different maladies. Noni can be taken as a capsule, juice or as an extract and is also available in powder for pets.
 
Noni’s medicinal properties are believed to enhance the thyroid and thymus glands, which fend off infections.
 
People take noni by mouth for liver disease, diabetes, depression, high blood pressure and nausea, just to name a few conditions.
 
Noni’s fruit juice is taken for arthritis, headaches, menstrual difficulties and muscle aches, among others. Medicines have incorporated its leaves for swelling of the joints, rheumatic aches and stomachache.
 
This remarkable South Pacific plant packs a tremendous natural punch.

HONOLULU - The UH Cancer Center is taking on prostate cancer. It's the most common cancer among men in Hawaii, and the center hopes noni extract can help make cancer no more. The noni is that pungent fruit found throughout Polynesia and Asia. The trial involves low or very low risk patients prostate cancer.
 
Jeffrey Huang is the Principal Investigator for the study.
 
“So generally, the treatment for these patients is either active surveillance or what we call waiting. So we don’t necessarily have to treat these patients with toxic chemo and that sort of thing. So it gives us a very good opportunity to be able to use a noni product, a more natural product, herbal remedy to see if there are any changes in their prostate cancer," he said.
 
In this trial, patients take daily noni capsules.  The amount needed per dose was already determined during past trials.
 
“So our patients would be taking noni about a year and then we’ll see if there are any signs of genetic changes within a year,” said Huang.
 
There will be monthly checkups  including blood draws to detect any changes. Past research has found anti-cancer properties in the extract. The noni extract for the capsules comes from a Big Island company called Healing Noni.
 
The company has been farming noni for 17 years and is excited about the clinical trials and what they might prove regarding the health benefits of noni.
 
The clinical trial began a few weeks and they are hoping to get more patients involved. If you are interested, contact your primary care physician or oncologist.

'''This Indian Plant Could Prevent Cataracts'''

Have you ever looked through the grease-smeared window of the mechanic’s shop? Do you feel like that’s what your eyesight is like all the time? If so, then you may have a cataract. So many older individuals suffer from this condition that it has become the leading vision problem in America. Luckily, you could protect yourself from cataracts with alternative therapies. Just recently, a clinical trial has reported this health news: Indian mulberry, or noni, could be alternative cure for preventing cataracts.
 
In the clinical trial, researchers studied the anti-cataract activity of selected plants. Among the tested plants, a water extract of Indian mulberry exhibited maximum “aldose reductase” inhibitory activity as compared to other plant extracts. Aldose reductase inhibitors are a class of drugs being studied as a way to prevent eye and nerve damage in people with diabetes. The researchers also found that Indian mulberry possesses significant anti-cataract potential to maintain lens opacity.
 
Who is likely to get cataracts? There are a few diseases that can encourage their development. Diabetes is one of the primary conditions linked to this eye problem. However, eye injuries or inflammation can also encourage the protein deposits that lead to cataracts, as can some drugs, such as prednisone (a corticosteroid used in inflammatory conditions like arthritis). If you suspect a drug you’re taking may be the cause behind your cataracts, talk to your doctor before stopping any medication.
 
Another big cause of cataracts is exposure to ultraviolet light and radiation. This is one reason why cataracts may develop as you age. The more years you spend exposed to the rays from the sun, the more likely you are to suffer damage to the lens of the eye. In fact, scientists recently linked the increase in cases of cataracts to the depletion of our ozone layer. So get a good pair sunglasses and wear them as much as you can when outside!

'''A-Z of healthy ingredients: what is noni and how do I eat it?'''

Last week it was all about matcha. This week, Grace McCloud helps to demystify noni, a rather pungent healthy ingredient
 
Pronunciation: No-nee
 
Taste Notes: Quite revolting. Some people find it bearable, others think it’s awful, with its notes of off coconut and rancid cheese. Nice.
 
:What actually is it?
 
Noni is the fruit of a shrubby plant related to coffee, indigenous to South East Asia, Polynesia, the Caribbean and the South Pacific. About the size of a baking potato, the noni fruit has a waxy, greenish-yellow skin covered in callousy-looking knobbles – a bit like a giant caterpillar. Sound enticing? This poor fruit gets bad press – yes, it looks hideous, smells disgusting and tastes even worse, but considering people have been extolling its healing properties for thousands of years, there has to be some method to the madness of putting this in your mouth, scientific or less so.
 
The difficulty when researching noni (researching any complementary medicine, dietary or not, is vital before you start using it) is that there is very little science behind the claims. Since it’s only been on the Western radar for about 50 years, studies are preliminary. People claim noni is a miracle preventative and curative, purportedly helping with everything from high blood pressure and blood clots to increasing energy, aiding weight loss, asthma, eczema and stress (and therefore, indirectly, cancer, strokes and coronary heart disease). Too good to be true? Perhaps. So until there is more concrete evidence, it might be wise to keep this in mind. There are, however, no adverse affects of ingesting noni – so while you won’t be harming yourself, you just may not be helping yourself as much as you think. That said, noni is remarkably high in potassium (vitamin K), which is essential in keeping heart, nerves and muscles working the way they should.
 
:What’s its history?
 
It’s thought the plant originated in South East Asia before being taken to French Polynesia by settlers, around 2000 years ago. A number of ancient texts suggest noni has been used as a medicinal plant in Samoa, Tahiti, ancient India and Hawaii, both as a dietary supplement and a topical ointment for the treatment of skin problems. The juice has historically been used to treat gum infections, mouth ulcers, sore throats and menstrual irregularity, while the root was thought to help with fevers. Leaves were often rubbed on to ulcers and wounds, acting as both an anti-bacterial and an analgesic (pain-killer). It’s also thought that ancient Filipinos fermented the fruit and made it into a jam. Modern science would suggest this probably did actually help with gut and stomach problems! More recently, supermodel Miranda Kerr has said she has drunk it every day since she was 12, which might be why her skin looks so good.
 
:How do I eat it?
 
The easiest way to get your noni fix is by drinking the juice, which often comes fermented. It’s not nice – a bit like drinking cod liver oil in the old days – but if it does work, then perhaps it’s worth it, particularly as there is evidence that fermented foods encourage the growth of healthy flora in the gut, giving your digestive system a super boost. It’s also possible to buy noni in powdered form, which is good for smoothies. Blending it with the strong flavours of banana, cinnamon, carrot and spinach is a good way to disguise the pongy flavour – one idea is a noni colada. Just blend coconut milk, some chunks of fresh pinapple, pinches of  both cinnamon and nutmeg with a teaspoon of noni powder. Add half a banana if the taste is still too strong. Noninoni Wellbeing also has some good recipe ideas.

Native to Southeast Asia, noni (Morinda citrifolia) was domesticated and cultivated by Polynesians, first in Tahiti and the Marquesas, and eventually in the farthest outpost of their culture, Hawaii. Today noni ranges from Tahiti to India, and grows in the Caribbean, South America and the West Indies. The name "noni" is Polynesian. Over the past several years, noni fruit and its juice have become popular in the natural heath sector.
 
Morinda citrifolia is a small tree which grows up to 10 m
