Brief History Of Noni
The Morinda Citrifolia fruit, or "Noni" is believed to have first arrived in the
Pacific at least 2000 years ago when the ancient peoples of Polynesia brought the
noni plant with them as a source of food and medicine when they colonized the islands
of the South Pacific. The noni is believed to have originated from India and the
surrounding sub-continental regions. The fruit was so revered and respected for
not only its nutritional value but also its medicinal properties, Samoan explorers
considered it an essential part of any long voyage of discovery.
Traditional uses of the noni plant are varied and virtually every part of the plant
is used as some form of medicine. Apart from the juice, the ancient Polynesian healers
used noni leaves as a bandage or poultice for wounds. Root or stem bark was typically
used to treat inflammation or infections. Research into the traditional uses of
noni indicate that it was one of the most popular plant used in herbal remedies
with approximately 40 known and recorded formulations. In fact, so popular was the
noni that it was soon cultivated across the Polynesian islands as a staple crop
and "miracle fruit".
Today, noni is still widely used and respected for its amazing nutritional properties
throughout Samoa. We at Island Spirit �
