How the Noni Sports Lotion was born

Many have asked: What gave you the inspiration for the Noni IcyHeat Sports Formula Lotion?

You can thank Melody Thoth, a head sports trainer at the University of Hawaii for 20 years, for our Noni Lavender Lotion and IcyHeat Noni Lotion. She immediately saw the benefits of our Noni Lavender Lotion, our first formula, for relieving the pain and inflammation of sports injuries and helping with treating muscle and ligament tissues in athletes.

Several years later, Mel helped us develop our IcyHeat Noni Lotion. It’s the same formula as our Noni Lavender Lotion, but with menthol crystals and camphor oil added to bring more rapid pain relief. This formula has been a big hit with many folks who suffer from any kind of pain or inflammation.

Noni for Cramps

Prevent Muscle Cramps

Both the IcyHeat Noni Lotion and Noni Lavender Lotion are great for preventing cramps for all you hard workers and sports folks.

We have many athletes that apply our Noni Lotions before sporting events as an organic cramp preventative. Many years ago, the University of Hawaii basketball sports trainer - Melody Toth - conducted an experiment by having half the basketball team apply our Noni Lotion and half the team not apply the Noni Lotion before 2 hour practices. At the end of practice, she found that the players who had applied the Noni Lotion were not tired and had no muscle cramps! The players that did not apply the Noni Lotion experienced fatigue and cramping. She found our Noni Lotions to be an organic solution to muscle fatigue and cramping!!

Muscle Cramp Relief

You can use any of the Noni Lotions for pain relief. Most folks prefer the IcyHeat Noni Lotions (IcyHeat Noni Lotion or the newer IcyHeat Sports Formula) for pain and inflammation relief as the added menthol and camphor hasten the penetration and relief. On the farm, we use the Sports Formula IcyHeat quite often for tired muscles and cramps.

Prevent Cramps with Noni Lotion

All three of our Noni lotions (Lavender, IcyHeat & IcyHeat Sports Formula) take cramps away in minutes or prevent cramps from happening altogether!  Ever wake up at night with a leg cramp and you can barely walk or straighten your leg? Apply any of our Noni Lotions to take the cramp away!

Working on the Farm, I do not always drink enough water while out in the sun and end up dehydrated. Therefore, I keep the Sports Formula IcyHeat next to my bed to take away the leg cramps that wake me up in the middle of the night. I've found that in 60 seconds, the leg cramp is gone. I do prefer the IcyHeat lotions for quicker relief of any pain or cramp as the added menthol/camphor allows the Noni pulp to penetrate faster and deeper into the muscle.

Many athletes apply our Noni Lotions before sporting events as an organic cramp preventative.

We have many NCAA sports teams, high school teams and weekend athletics apply our Noni Lotions to their calves and thighs (5 minutes before) sporting events to prevent cramps during the games.

Melody Toth, the head basketball trainer for 20 years at the University of Hawaii, conducted an experiment one year during preseason practices. She had 8 players apply the Noni Lotions to the calves and thighs and 8 players not apply the lotions before 2 hour practices for 4 weeks. The players that applied the Noni Lotions did not experience muscle fatigue, tiredness, or get cramps. The players who did not apply the lotions eventually cramped up, and experienced muscle fatigue.

How Noni Takes the Pain Out of an Active Lifestyle

When you lead an active life, nothing is more frustrating than pain. It slows you down, forces you to be more cautious, and makes you doubt that you’ll ever fully recover. Facing chronic pain, many people give up, but you can overcome pain organically and chemically free! You don’t even need those damaging NSAIDs and other painkillers. The secret is noni.

What Research Says About Noni and Pain

In Phytotherapy Research (24[1]:38-42), researchers from the University Clinic in Hamburg, Germany, reported that noni fruit’s analgesic activity “reduced the pain sensitivity comparably to the central analgesic drug tramadol.” When extracts of noni fruit puree were applied, the “effect was comparable to hydrocortisone.”

Acta Pharmacologica Sinica (23[12]:1127-1141) published another study which found that noni extract is a dosage-related anti-inflammatory and central analgesic. In fact, they found that it was 75 percent as strong as morphine, had no toxic level, and caused no side-effects.

In addition to this body of evidence, working with athletics coaches in Hawaii has shown us the power of noni to support a pain-free, highly-active lifestyle. Not to mention our own anecdotal evidence in our own lives and from the testimonials of our customers!

Here’s how noni can be used to eliminate the aches, pains, and cramps that go with athletics, totally free of side-effects or harmful chemicals!

Apply to Injuries to Heal Them

If you’re already injured, that’s where you should start with one of our noni lotions. You can use our Noni Lavender Lotion, or one of our IcyHeat formulas if you like the menthol/camphor sensation.

Our friend Ed Davila, M.D., is a highly-regarded, board-certified medical internist in the state of Washington. He found noni through a patient of his, Frank Anderson, who had used noni lotion to relieve chronic hand pain that forced him to almost completely retire from music.

Dr. Davila took Frank’s recommendation. Playing basketball, he had injured both his Achilles tendons, leaving him barely able to walk, and certainly unable to play. He tried the noni lotion on his injuries, and within three days was pain-free and playing basketball again.

You can get these kinds of results too! Over the course of a few weeks, even the most stubborn of injuries will start to loosen up. You’re likely to experience pain relief first, then loosening and release as inflammation recedes from the area. Make sure to give the injury plenty of time to heal before exercising hard.

For chronic issues, we recommend applying noni lotion to the area 3 or 4 times each day.

Apply Post Workout to Repair Tissue

After your workout, it’s a good idea to apply some more noni to areas that are prone to pain and injury. This will help you repair and build muscle, while avoiding the pain and stiffness that can come after a hard workout.

You can apply the lotion immediately after exercise. If you like to get post-workout massages, noni lotion can be incorporated to further chase away pain and inflammation.

It’s also a good idea to apply noni lotion before bed. The lotion will sink in overnight so you can rise free from pain.

You can apply noni lotion as often as you like. You might want to try it before and after a workout, and then once more before bed.

Eat Noni Fruit Leather as a Daily Preventative

Our noni lotions work great to relieve pain. They help restore your tissues and reduce inflammation as well, but to see the most dramatic results, try our Noni Fruit Leather. It works from the inside out to tackle your pain at its source.

For athletes and those who suffer from chronic pain and injury, Noni Fruit Leather is an important part of preventative healthcare. It works to restore and maintain good health. This gives your muscles, bones, and connective tissues some resilience as you age.

As a preventative, we recommend one 2x2 inch square of Noni Fruit Leather each day. For chronic issues, take two to four 2x2 inch pieces, spaced throughout the day.

You can enjoy an active lifestyle without the worry of pain hanging over your head. It’s all in the pulp of the powerful noni fruit, which can work from the outside in and the inside out to protect and heal your active muscles.
