INTRODUCTION
In a time when we are more concerned than ever with issues of health, a tried
and true tropical herb called noni needs t o be added t o our list of the best
natural remedies. It susage over hundreds of years supports it s description as
a veritable panacea of therapeutic actions. At this writing, noni continues to
accrue impressive medicinal credentials, and its emergence as an effective nat
ural healing agent is a timely one. Amidst rising cancer rates, the high
incidence of degenerative diseases like diabetes, and the evolution of ant
ibiotic resist ant bacteria and new viral strains, herbs like noni are sought
after for their natural pharmaceutical properties. Unquest ionably, all of us
want to know how to:
- protect ourselves f rom toxins and pollut ants
- boost our immune defenses to protect ourselves from new viral and
bacterial strains that have become antibiotic-resist ant
- reduce our risk of developing cancer
- better digest our food for proper assimilation and purge the intestinal
system wit hout the dangerous side effects of harsh drugs. Its actions are
multifaceted and must be considered when assessing natural treatment s for
disease or injury. It s impressive and widespread use among various native cult
ures of t ropical island regions supports the notion that it does indeed possess
valuable, therapeutic compounds.
Genus Rubiacea Common Names
Indian Mulberry (India), Noni (Hawaii), Nono (Tahiti and Raratonga),
Polynesian Bush Fruit, Painkiller Tree (Caribbean islands), Lada (Guam),
Mengkudo (Malaysia), Nhau (Southeast Asia), Grand Morinda (Vietnam), Cheesefruit
(Australia), Kura (Fiji), Bumbo (Africa) Note: This is only a small sampling of
vernacular names for Morinda citrifolia. Almost every island nation of the South
Pacific and Caribbean has a term for this particular plant . This booklet will
refer to the herb mainly as “ noni” or M. citrifolia, and is referring primarily
to Hawaiin noni.
Parts Used
The parts of the noni plant most used for their medicinal and nutritional
purposes are the fruit, seeds, bark, leaves, and flowers. Virtually every part
of the noni plant is utilized for its individual medicinal properties; however,
it is the fruit portion that is regarded as its most valuable. The seeds have a
purgative action, the leaves are used to treat external inflammations and
relieve pain, the bark has strong astringent properties and can treat malaria,
the root extracts lower blood pressure, the flower essences relieve eye
inflammations and the f ruit has a number of medicinal actions.

Physical Description
Morinda citrifolia is technically an evergreen shrub or bush, which can grow
to heights of fifteen to twenty feet . It has rigid, coarse branches which bear
dark, oval, glossy leaves. Small white fragrant flowers bloom out of
cluster-like pods which bear creamy-white colored fruit. The fruit is fleshy and
gel-like when ripened, resembling a small breadf ruit . The flesh of the fruit
is characterist ically bitter, and when completely ripe produces a rancid and
very dist inctive odor. Noni has buoyant seeds that can float formont hs in
ocean bodies. The wood of the inflammatory, astringent, emollient, emmenagogue,
laxative, sedative, hypotensive (lowers blood pressure) , blood purif ier, and
tonic.
Chemical Constituents
Noni has various chemical constituents. First, it has an impressive array of
terpene compounds, three of which—L. Asperuloside, aucubin, and glucose— have
been identified by their actyl derivatives. Both caproic and caprylic acids have
been isolated.1 Second, bushfruits, a category of which noni fruit is a member,
are also considered a good source of vit - amin C.2 Third, Hawaiin noni has been
linked to the synthesis of xeronine in the body which has significant and
widespread health implications. Last , the alkaloid cont ent of the noni fruit
is thought to be responsible for its therapeutic actions. Alkaloids exhibit a
wide range of pharmacological and biological act ivitiesin the human body. They
are nitrogencontaining organic compounds which can react with acids to form
salts and which are the basis of many medicines. The following is an in-depth
chemical analysis of each plant part and it s chemical constituents.

Pharmacology
Recent surveys have suggested that noni fruit exerts antibiotic action. In
fact, a variety of compounds which have antibacterial properties (such as
aucubin) have been identified in the fruit.5 The 6-Dglucopyranose pentaacet ate
of the fruit extract is not considered bacteriostatic.6 Constituents found in
the fruit portion have exhibited ant imicrobial action against Escherichia coli,
Salmonella typhi (and other types) , Shigella paradysenteriae, and
Staphylococcus aureaus. Compounds found in the root have the ability to reduce
swollen mucous membrane and lower blood pressure in animal studies. Proxeronine
is an alkaloid constituent found in Hawaiin noni fruit which may prompt the
production of xeronine in the body. It is considered a xeronine precursor and
was discovered in noni fruit by Dr. Ralph M. Heinicke. He has theorized that
this proenzyme can be effective in initiating a series of beneficial cellular
reactions through its involvement with the integrity of specific proteins. He
points out that tissues contain cells which possess certain recept or sites for
xeronine. Because the reactions that can occur are so varied, many different
therapeutic actions can result when xeronine production escalates, explaining
why Hawaiin noni is good for so many seemingly unrelated disorders. Damnacanthol
is another compound contained in the fruit of the Hawaiin noni plant which has
shown the ability to block or inhibit the cellular function of RAS cells,
considered pre-cancerous cells.

Body Systems Targeted
The following body systems have all been effec-freeze-dried capsules,
dehydrated powder or fruit, and oil. Noni plant constituents are sometimes
offered in combination with other herbs. Some products contain a percent age of
the fruit, bark, root and seeds for their individual therapeutic properties.
Safety
Extracts of M. citrifolia are considered safe if used as directed; however,
pregnant or nursing mothers should consult their physicians before taking any
supplement . High doses of root extracts may cause constipation. Taking noni
supplements with coffee, alcohol or nicotine is not recommended.
Suggested Uses
Ideally, noni extracts should be taken on an empty stomach prior to meals.
The process of digesting food can interfere with the medicinal value of the
alkaloid compounds found in Hawaiin noni, especially in its fruit . Apparently,
stomach acids and enzymes destroy the specific enzyme which frees up the
xeronine compound. Take noni supplements without food, coffee, nicotine or
alcohol. Using supplements that have been made from the semi-ripe or light -
green fruit is also considered preferable to the ripe, whit ish fruit .
NONI: ITS USE AND HISTORY
Noni is a tropical wandering plant indigenous to areas of Australia, Malaysia
and Polynesia. It is considered native to Southeast Asia although it grows from
India to the eastern region of Polynesia. Morinda citrifolia has a long history
of medicinal use throughout these areas. It is thought to be the “most widely
and commonly used medicinal plant prior to the European era.” 7 Centuries ago,
the bushfruit was introduced to native Hawaiians, who subsequently called it
“noni” and considered its fruit and root as prized medicinal agents. Among all
Polynesian botanical agents of the 19th and 20th centuries, Hawaiin noni has the
widest array of medical applications. Samoan and Hawaiian medical practitioners
used noni for bowel disorders (especially infant diarrhea, constipation, or
intestinal parasites) , indigestion, skin inflammation, infection, mouth sores,
fever, contusions and sprains. Hawaiians commonly prepared noni tonics designed
to treat diabetes, stings, burns and fish poisoning.8 The herb’s remarkable
ability to purge the intestinal tract and promote colon health was well known
among older Hawaiian and Tahitian natives and folk healers. Interestingly, field
observations regarding its repu-remarkable healing agent .
Wonder Herb of Island Folk Healers
Common to the thickets and forests of Malaysia and Polynesia, and the low
hilly regions of the Philippine islands, noni has been cultivated throughout
communities in the South Pacific for hundreds of years. Its Hawaiian use is
thought to originate from inter-island canoe travel and settlement dating to
before Christ . Its hardy seeds have the ability to float which has also
contributed to its distribution among various seacoasts in the South Pacific
region. Historical investigation has established the fact that some of Hawaii’s
earliest settlers probably came viaTahiti. For this reason, Tahitian herbal
practices have specific bearing on the herbal therapeutics of islands to the
nort h. The very obvious similarities between the Hawaiian vernacular for herbal
plants like noni and Tahitian names strongly suggests the theory of Polynesian
migrations to Hawaii. Cultures native to these regions favored using Morinda
citrifolia for treating major diseases and ut ilized it as a source of
nourishment in times of famine.9 Noni fruit has been recognized for centuries as
an excellent source of nutrition. The peoples of Fiji, Samoa and Rarat onga use
the fruit in both its raw and cooked forms.10 Traditionally, the fruit was
propicked before it was fully ripe and placed in the sunlight . After being
allowed to ripen, it was typically mashed and its juice extracted through a
cloth. Noni leaves provided a veget able dish and their resiliency made them
desirable as a fish wrap for cooking.
Noni’s Medical Reputation
Elaborate traditionalrituals and praying rites usually accompanied the
administration of noni. Int erestingly, cultures indigenous to the Polynesian
islands had a significant understanding of their flora. For example, native
Hawaiians maint ained a folkmedicine taxonomy t hat was considered second to
none.11 Noni was not only used for medicinal purposes but for its food value,
for clot hing and for cloth dyes as well. Research indicates that noni was among
the few herbal remedies that islanders considered “ tried and true.” In Hawaii,
trained herbal practitioners reserved the right to prescribe plant therapies.12
Records indicate that Hawaiian medical practices were based on extensive and
very meticulous descriptions of symptoms and their prescribed herbal treatments.
Dosages were controlled and the collection and administration of plant extracts
was carefully monitored.13 In addition to Morinda, it was not uncommon for these
herbal doctors to also recommend using In regard to its application for common
ailments, Hawaiians and other island communities traditionally prescribed noni
to purge the bowel, reduce fever, cure respiratory infections such as asthma,
ease skin inflammations, and heal bruises and sprains. In other words, noni was
widely used and highly regarded as a botanical medicine.
A Timely Reemergence
Today, the natural pharmaceutical actions of the chemical constituents
contained in noni are scientifically emerging as valuable botanical medicines.
Tahitian “nono” intrigued medical practitioners decades ago; however, due to the
eventual emergence of synthetic drugs, interest in this island botanical
diminished until recent years. Ethnobot anists are once again rediscovering why
Hawaiian people havet reasured and cultivat ed Morinda citrifolia for
generations. Noni is now finding its way into western therapeutics and is
referred to as “ the queen” of the genus Rubiaceae. Its ability to reduce joint
inflammation and target the immune system have made it the focus of the modern
scientific inquiry. Dr. Ralph Heinicke has conducted some fascinating studies on
the chemical constituents of the Hawaiin noni fruit. His research centers on the
proxeronine content of the fruit juice and how it profoundly influences human
physiology. In addition, scientific studies investigating noni as an anti-cancer
agent have been encouraging. It s conspicuous attributes and varied uses have
elevat edits status to one of the best of the healing herbs. Today Morinda
citrifolia is available in liquid, juice, freezedried capsules, or oil forms,
and is considered one of nature’s most precious botanicals.

TRADITIONAL USES OF NONI
Throughout tropical regions, virtually every part of Morinda citrifolia was
used to treat disease or injury. Its curative properties were well known and
commonly employed. PatoaTama Benioni, a member of the Maoritribe from the Cook
Islands and a lecturer on island plants explains: Traditionally Polynesians use
noni for basically everything in the treatment of illness. Noni is a part of our
lives. Any Polynesian boy will tell you he’s had exper ience with it . We use
juice from its roots, its flowers, and its fruit... my grandmother taught me to
use noni from the roots and the leaves to make medicine for external as well as
internal use, and for all kinds of ailments, such as coughs, boils, diseases of
the skin, and cuts.15
Decoctions to Stimulate Delayed Menstruation.
- Noni was frequently utilized for its antiparasitic activity.
- Respiratory ailments, coughs, and colds were treated with noni.
- A juice made from pounding noni leaves, roots and fruit mixed with water
was administered for diarrhea.
- Dried and powdered forms of the bark mixed with water and administ ered
with a spoon treated infant diarrhea.
- Small pieces of fruit and root infused with water were given to kill
intestinal parasites.
- Boiled bark decoctions were given as a drink for stomach ailments.
- Coughs were treated with grated bark.
- Charred unripe fruit was used with salt on diseased gums.
- Pounded fruit combined with kava and sugar cane was used to treat
tuberculosis.
- Babies were rubbed with fresh, crushed leaves for serious chest colds
accompanied by fever.
- Eye washes were made from decoctions for eye complaint s from flower
extracts.
- Leaf infusions were traditionally taken to treat adult fevers.
- A mouthwash consisting of crushed ripe fruit and juice was used for
inflamed gums in young boys.
- Pounded leaf juice was used for adult gingivitis.
- Sore throats were treated by chewing the leaves and swallowing the juice.
- Skin abscesses and boils were covered with leaf poultices.
- Swelling was controlled with leaf macerations.
- Heated leaves were often used for arthritic joins and for ringworm.16
XERONINE: THE SECRET OF NONI?
One informed professional on the subject of noni is Dr. Ralph Heinicke, a
biochemist who has researched the active compounds of noni fruit for a number of
years. He discovered that the Hawaiin noni fruit contains an alkaloid precursor
to a very vital compound called xeronine. Wit hout xeronine, life would cease.
In Dr. Heinicke’s view, noni fruit provides a safe and effective way to increase
xeronine levels, which exert a crucial influence on cell health and protction.
His research suggests that the juice from the M. citrifolia fruit contains what
could technically be considered a precursor of xeronine—proxeronine. This
compound initiates the release of xeronine in the intestinal tract after it
comes in contact with a specific enzyme which is also contained in the fruit .
Because proteins and enzymes have so many varied roles within cell processes,
the normalization of these proteins with noni supplemenation could initiate
avery wide variety of body responses and treat many disease condit ions.
Proteins are the most important catalysts found in the body. The beauty of
obtaining a precursor to xeronine from the noni fruit is that the body naturally
decides how much of this precursor to convert to xeronine. Disease, stress,
anger, trauma and injury can lower xeronine levels in the body, thus creat ing a
xeronine deficit . Supplementing the body with noni fruit is considered an
excellent way to safely and naturally raise xeronine levels. It is the research
and theories of Dr. Heinicke which have made the juice of the Hawaiin noni fruit
a viable medicinal substance. He writes: Xeronine is analkaloid, a substance the
body produces in order to activate enzymes so they can function properly. It
also energizes and regulates the body. This par-ticular alkaloid has never been
found because the body makes it, immediately uses it, and then breaks it down.
At no time is there an appreciable, isolable amount in the blood. But xeronine
is so basic to the functioning of proteins, we would die without it . Its
absence can cause many kinds of illness.17 Because so many diseases result from
an enzyme malfunction, Dr. Heinicke believes that using the noni fruit can
result in an impressive array of curative applications. Interestingly, he
believes that we manufacture proxeronine while we are sleeping. He proposes t
hat if we could constantly supply our bodies wit h proxeronine from other
sources, our need to sleep would diminish.18
NONI PROCESSING
How an herb is processed is crucial to how beneficial it is: this is
especially true of noni, with its unique enzymes and alkaloids. Morinda
citrifolia should be picked when the fruit is turning from its dark green
immature color to its lighter green color, and certainly before it ripens to its
white, almost translucent color. Once picked, noni, like aloe, will denature
extremely quickly due to its very active enzymes. After harvesting, it should
swiftly be flash frozen. This is similar to what is done to fish caught at sea
to keep them f esh. This stops it from losing its potency while not damaging any
of its constituents. To process noni, freeze-drying is recommended. This removes
only the water without damaging any of this miracle plant’s vital enzymes and
other phytonutrients like xeronine and proxeronine. This pure high-quality noni
fruit juice powder is then encapsu-has a very harsh taste and an extremely foul
smell, similar to the fruit it self . Other methods of processing include
thermal processing, dehydrat ion and air drying. Thermal processing is generally
found in liquids, while the dehydrat ed noni is then milled and encapsulated.
Unfortunately both methods utilize high heat (110+°F) , which can deactivate
many of the vital compounds that make noni so import ant . Air-drying is effect
ive without using damaging heat but has serious quality control problems for
commercial production.

MODERN APPLICATIONS OF NONI
Overview
Noni possesses a wide variety of medicinal properties which originat e from
its differing plant component s. The fruit and leaves of the shrub exert
antibacterial activities. Its roots promote the expulsion of mucus and the
shrinkage of swollen membranes making it an ideal therapeutic for nasal congest
ion, lung infect ions, and hemorrhoids. Noni root compounds have also shown
natural sedative properties as well as the ability to lower blood pressure.
Leaf extracts are able to inhibit excessive blood flow or to inhibit the
formation of blood clots. Noni is particularly useful for its ability to treat
painful joint conditions and to resolve skin inflammations. Many people drink
noni fruit extracts in juice form for hypert ension, painful menstruation,
arthritis, gastric ulcers, diabetes, and depression. Recent studies suggest that
its anticancer activit y should also be considered. Concerning the therapeutic
potential of the Hawaiin noni fruit, Dr. Heinicke writes: I have seen the
compound found in noni work wonders. When I was still investigating its
possibilities, I had a friend who was a medical research scientist administer
the proxeronine to a woman who had been comatose for three months. Two hour
safter receiving the compound, she sat up in bed and asked where she was. . . .
Noni is probably the best source of proxeronine that we have today.19 Studies
and surveys combined support the ability of noni to act as an immunost imulant,
inhibit the growth of certain tumors, enhance and normalize cellular function
and boost tissue regeneration. It is considered a powerful blood purifier and
contributor to overall homeostasis.
xeronine, which appears to be able to regulate the shape and integrity of
cert in proteins that individually contribute to specific cellular activities.
Interestingly, this effect seems to occur after ingestion, inferring that the
most active compound of noni may not be present in uneaten forms of the fruit or
other plant parts. Some practitioners believe that xeronine is best obtained
from a noni fruit juice precursor compound. The enzymatic reactions that occur
with taking the juice on an empty stomach are what Dr. Heinicke believes set
cellular repair intomotion.
Cancer
A study conducted in 1994 cited the anticancer activity of Morinda citrifolia
against lung cancer. A team of scientists from the University of Hawaii used
live laboratory mice to test the medicinal properties of the fruit against Lewis
lung carcinomas which were artificially transferred to lung tissue. The mice
that were left untreated died in nine to twelve days. However, giving noni juice
in consistent daily doses significantly prolonged their life span. Almost half
of these mice lived for more than fifty days.20 Research conclusions state that
the chemical constituents of the juice acted indirectly by enhancing the ability
of the immune system to deal with the invading malig-nancy by boosting
macrophage or lymphocyte activit y. Furt her evaluation theorizes that the
unique chemical constituents of Morinda citrifolia initiate enhanced T-cell
activity, a reaction that may explain noni’s ability to treat a variety of
infectious diseases. 21
In Japan, similar studies on tropical plant extracts found that damnacanthol,
a compound found in Morinda citrifolia, is able to inhibit the function of KRAS-
NRK cells, which are considered precursors to certain types of malignancies.22
The experiment involved adding noni plant extract to RAS cells and incubating
them for a number of days. Observation disclosed that noni was able to
significantly inhibit RAS cellular function. Among 500 plant extracts, Morinda
citrifolia was determined to contain the most effective compounds against RAS
cells. Its damnacanthol content was clinically described in 1993 as “a new
inhibit or of RAS function.” 2 3 The xeronine fact or is also involved in that
xeronine helps to normalize the way malignant cells behave. While they are still
technically cancer cells, they no longer function as cells with unchecked
growth. In time, the body’s immune system may be able to eradicate these cells.
Arthritis
With arthritic disease. One link to arthritic pain may be the inability to
properly or completely digest proteins which can then form crystal-like deposits
in the joints. The ability of noni fruit to enhance protein digestion through
enhanced enzymatic function may help to eliminate this particular phenomenon. In
addition, the alkaloid compounds and plant met abolites of noni may be linked to
its apparent anti-inflammatory action. Plant sterols can assist in inhibiting
the inflammatory response which causes swelling and pain. In addition, the
antioxidant effect of noni may help to decrease free radical damage in joint
cells, which can exacerbate discomfort and degeneration.
Immune System
The alkaloid and other chemical compounds found in noni have proven
themselves to effectively control or kill over six types of infectious bacterial
strains including: Escherichia coli, salmonellatyphi (and other types) ,
shigella paradysenteriae, and staphylo - coccus aureaus.25 In addition,
damnacanthol, was able to inhibitt he early antigen stage of the Epstein- Barr
virus.
The bioactive components of the whole plant, combined or in separate
portions, have demonst rat - ed the ability to inhibit several different strains
of bacteria. Anecdotal reports support this action in that noni seems
particularly effective in shortening the duration of certain types of infection.
This may explain why noni is commonly used to treat colds and flu. The chemical
constituents found in noni and the possibility that they stimulate xeronine
production— as well as initiate alkaloid therapy—may explain noni’s reputation
for having immuno-stimulatory properties. Alkaloids have been able to boost
phagocytosis which is the process in which certain white blood cells called
macrophages attack and literally digest infectious organisms. Interestingly, the
ant it umoraction of noni has been ascribed to an immune system response which
involves stimulating T-cells. tropical regions during World War II learned of
the fruit’s ability to boost endurance and stamina. Native cultures in Samoa,
Tahiti, Raratonga and Australia used the fruit in cooked and raw forms. M.
citrifolia is considered a tonic and is especially recommended for debilitated
conditions.

Antioxidant
The process of aging bombards the body with free radicals which can cause all
kinds of degenerative diseases. The xeronine theory promoted by Dr. Heinicke
submit s t hat as our bodies age, we lose our ability to synthesize xeronine. To
make matters worse, the presence of many environment altoxins actually blocks
the production of xeronine as well. He believes that the proxeronine content of
Hawaiin noni fruit juice can help to block these actions, thereby working as an
antiaging compound.26 The phytonutrients found in noni assist in promot - ing
cell nourishment and prot ect ion from free radicals created by exposure to
pollution and other potentially damaging agents. In addition, Morinda citrifolia
contains selenium, which is considered one of the best antioxidant compounds
available.
Diabetes
While scientific studies are lacking in this particular application of noni,
Hawaiians used various parts of the plant and its fruit to treat blood sugar
disorders. Anecdotal surveys have found t hat noni is current ly recommended for
anyone with diabetes.
Pain Killer
A 1990 study found that extracts derived from the Morinda citrifolia root
have the ability to kill pain in animal experiments.27 Interest ingly, it was
during this study that the natural sedative action of the root was also noted.
This study involved a French team of scientists who noted a significant central
analgesic activity in laboratory mice.28 Dr. Heinicke has stated, “Xeronine also
acts as a pain reliever. A man wit h very advanced int est inal cancer was given
three months to live. He began taking the proxeronine and lived for a whole
year, pain-free.” 29
Skin Healing Agent
One of the most prevalent hist rical uses of noni was in poultice form for
cuts, wounds, abrasions, burns and bruises. Using its fruit extract for very
serious burns has resulted in some extraordinary healing. Because skin is
comprised of protein, it immediately responds to the presence of xeronine.
burn site throught he direct application of a noni poultice is considered
quite effective by Dr. Heinicke and his colleagues, who have studied enzymatic
therapy. Concerning burns, he has written: I believe that each tissue has cells
which contain proteins which have receptor sites for the absorption of xeronine.
Certain of these proteins are the inert for ms of enzymes which require absorbed
xeronine to become active. This xeronine, by converting the body’s procol-
langenase system into a specific protease, quickly and safely removes the dead
tissue from burns.30
Drug Addiction
The xeronine link to treating drug addiction is based on the notion that
flooding the brain with extra xeronine can reverse the neurochemical basis for
addiction. This natural alkaloid is thought to normalize brain receptors which
subsequent ly results in the cessation of physiological dependence on a certain
chemical like nicotine.3 1 The potential of Hawaiin noni as a natural stimulat
or for t he production of xeronine may have profound implications in treating
various types of addictions.
