How Noni Fruit Supports a Thriving Immune System

When I look back at my overall health before I started eating noni fruit every day, and then compare it to my health today, one benefit that really sticks out is the effect it’s had on my immune system. And I’m not alone! Many people report that after taking noni for a few weeks, they “just don’t get sick anymore.”

If you’ve been sideswiped by one too many colds this year, if you suffer from persistent allergies, or if you eat a diet that promotes inflammation in the body (a diet high in grains, sugars, and processed foods), consider giving noni a try!

First, What’s Noni?

Noni is a tree, also known as Morinda Citrifolia, that produces a very unusual fruit, packed full of beneficial enzymes, vitamins, minerals, phenols, and other micronutrients the body needs for optimum health. Over 165 compounds in the pulp of noni are believed to have benefits for the human body. As raw food, noni pulp feeds the cells of the body promoting overall good health.

One of these benefits is its impact on inflammation and the immune response.

How Your Immune System Works

First, a fact that you might not be aware of: the vast majority of your immune system is in your gut. That’s because most of the harmful bacteria, viruses, and other microbes come to us along with our food. Some of these bad guys are killed by the harsh environment of the stomach, and still more are repelled and killed in the intestines, with the help of beneficial bacteria that coexist happily.

But occasionally, a harmful microbe makes it through your semi-permeable intestinal lining and into your bloodstream — where only nutrients are supposed to go. At that time, it’s your immune system’s job to hunt down, isolate, and neutralize the microbe, then memorize it’s description so similar microbes can be killed more quickly in the future.

Learn how the food you eat affects your immunity.

Enter Noni

Noni fruit has a number of benefits for your immune system, due to the large number of anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and nutritious compounds found in the raw pulp of the fruit.

Remember: You can only get access to these beneficial compounds if you eat the noni pulp raw. That means either as fresh unfermented fruit, or as Noni Fruit Leather (a raw, organic product that keeps all the nutrients intact while increasing shelf-life). Noni juice is not raw — it’s fermented and pasteurized, and usually diluted and sweetened as well.

Gut Biota

Noni helps ensure the populations of bad bacteria taking up residence in your gut don’t get out of hand. The fruit contains damnacanthal and scopoletin, two compounds which have been shown to repel microbial parasites, including infectious bacterias like E. coli and Salmonella.

It also provides lots of support for the good bacteria in your gut, due to the high dietary fiber content.

Relieve Inflammation

Chronic inflammation is essentially an immune system that never gets a chance to turn off. When that happens, the immune system becomes fatigued, and therefore less able to do its job. This can lead to more frequent illness, development or worsening of allergies, and even autoimmune disease.

Noni’s high levels of scopoletin reduce inflammation in the body. Scopoletin is also anti-hypertensive, an antihistamine, and a painkiller.

January: Relief from Inflamed Tendons

"While visiting a farmers market in Kauai I stopped at a booth where someone was selling the farm''s Noni lotion. I have persistently inflamed tendons in both knees after surgery for a related issue and doctors have not been able to fix the inflammation problem, they only offer me a cortisone shots which is not a long term solution.

I tried the IcyHeat Noni lotion and continued walking around the market. After getting some instant relief to the pain I decided to buy a bottle and when the relief persisted for several days I decided to do the farm tour.

The farm tour was so much fun, very informative and in just the 2 weeks since I have used the Noni products my knees have improved and I have been able to do all the hikes I want on Kauai, pain free."

February: Strengthened “Fragile Skin”

“I was on vacation in Honolulu and my Tour Bus driver introduced me to your Noni Lotion, I have suffered for years from ‘Fragile Skin’ from which you bruise and cut easily. However, in my case my skin peels back with big open cuts and sores. Very painful!

I just came from my Dermatologist who was amazed. She has tried everything but with no results. In four days of using the Noni Lavender Lotion, I do not cut anymore. It has tightened my skin and the bruising has decreased. My Dermatologist said the Noni must be creating collagen in your skin and tightening my fragile skin.”

March: Sciatica Relief

“I for one had been suffering for several weeks with sciatica, and I was desperate to try anything. I started taking the Noni leather that day and using the icy heat on my low back. It only took 3 days for the pain to go away. I still have numbness in my foot and will be seeing my doctor tomorrow to investigate that, but the pain has not returned, not even on the 6 hour flight home.”

April: Regulated Blood Pressure & Blood Sugar

“I was on Kauai last year and found these products at a Farmer’s Market. I have been using them for one year now and had to come back to visit the farm. I was a mess a year ago. Since eating the Noni Fruit Leather and using the lotions, everything changed. I lost 50 pounds, my diabetes and high blood pressure are normal and the pain in my feet is gone!! This stuff works – ask my husband!!”

May: Sun Spots Faded

“I was just visiting my dad in Hanalei last week and i came across your lotion. I have suffered with sunspots or, affectionately on the island, ‘haoli rot,’ for most of my life. Over the last few years they have overtaken my body and nothing has helped. I live in California and doctors here are not familiar with this common skin condition found mostly in humid environments. I’ve tried just about everything and the old fashioned remedy was not working either.

They were so bad on this last trip that I covered up at the beach to not show them. Having been a model for most of my life you can imagine the embarrassment I felt. They were covering my back, chest, stomach, neck and arms. Well....after 1 use....just 1, my spots are almost gone. Literally starting to fade and disappear after one use. I am beyond blown away by this. This is another testament to the magical effects of this amazing fruit.”

June: Cleared Whipworm and Healed Eye Growth for Sheltie

“After my sheltie was diagnosed with whipworm and the meds prescribed by the Vet failed to rid her of them I went searching the net for possible natural remedies. I read a review by someone claiming Noni rid her dog of whipworm by using Noni. I decided to try it, and the results are nothing short of amazing.

Not only did it clear the worms, but she also had a growth in the corner of her eye by her nose, which the Vet has been advising should be removed via surgery. Since using Noni for about a month, the growth has shrunk so much that I have to search in order to see it!! Since nothing else has changed, it has to be the Noni causing it to disappear To say I am amazed is not saying enough. I have 4 dogs, and they are all taking Noni daily now, and will continue to do so for the rest of their lives. THANK YOU!”

July: Protected Skin During Radiation Treatment

“I am writing to tell you how amazing noni lotion is. I am going through radiation treatment.The Doctors gave me samples of creams and lotions, none of them worked.They are constantly asking me what I''m using on my skin and I proudly tell them noni. My skin is fabulous! No pain just a little pink. Love it!!! I wish more Doctors knew about it.”

August: Relief from Aches and Arthritis-Like Pains

“When I forget to take it for a couple of days, those creaky aches and arthritis like pains start coming back. I am 65, an active person, I have a massage practice and I teach yoga. I am already in the self-care field, and this is one of the greatest assets I have. I have introduced Noni to many of my clients who now use it regularly and I use it in massage.”

September: Eliminated Rheumatoid Arthritis

“I am sending you my blood work that I just had done by my Doctor. I am off Enbrel and my drugs with no more Rheumatoid Arthritis!! I have been taking the Noni Fruit Leather (2 pieces per day) for 30 days and my blood test confirms what it did for me.”

October: Cleared a Rash

“The products work just as they say. I had developed a rash on my hand and tried several over the counter creams for weeks with no luck then I used the noni lotion and in three days it was cleared up.”

November: Healed Torn Meniscus

“I healed my torn meniscus applying the Noni Lavender Lotion! I had constant pain in both knees but was due for an operation on my left knee for the torn meniscus. The lotion took away my daily pain but actually healed my left knee and had no surgery. I also eat the Noni Fruit Leather every day now as a preventative.”

How to Use Noni Fruit the Traditional Way

Polynesians and native Hawaiians have known for centuries that noni is a powerful plant for healing. The Polynesians brought noni as one of their 27 “canoe plants” when they first came to settle the Hawaiian islands, and since then, it’s uses have been passed down through generations.

We learned about noni when we moved to our farm on Kauai from California back in 1982. Over time, its ability to heal and fortify the body became clear to us as it healed us and our friends from many chronic health problems. Over the years, the testimonials we’ve gotten from our customers and friends has been further proof to us: noni heals.

But we think a lot of people don’t really understand what noni’s about. They drink the juice, fermented, diluted, and usually sweetened. Countless studies have shown that noni juice contains barely a fraction of the beneficial compounds of the raw fruit.

Traditionally, noni wasn’t fermented and turned into juice as some people do by placing it in glass jars.I always challenge people to visit Bishop Museum in Honolulu and look for a glass jar from even just 150 years ago. They didn’t have them, and they didn’t need them. They ate noni fresh from the tree, year-round.

We stick to that tradition at Hawaiian Organic Noni, because we trust the ancient wisdom of those explorers who brought noni with them as a precious commodity from faraway islands. Here’s what you can learn about noni from the ways it was traditionally used as part of daily life.

Fresh, Raw, and Unfermented

Our goal is to bring you as close as possible to picking the noni right off the tree and eating it fresh—because that’s the way it was meant to be eaten. We make our noni products from raw, organic, unfermented noni pulp.

Challenges of Preserving Noni

Noni has a preservation problem, which is why it was almost always eaten freshly picked from the tree. People began fermenting and preserving it as a matter of convenience. As soon as the white mature fruit is picked, it begins to undergo a slow ripening process and then begins to rot and ferment.  Fermentation turns sugars into alcohol, alters enzyme structures, and damages many of the beneficial compounds.

We were determined to find a way to preserve noni without damaging the health benefits of the raw fruit.

Innovative Process, Traditional Results

After a lot of experimentation, we found that removing the water from noni halted the fermentation process. We developed our unique low-heat dehydration system, to turn raw noni pulp into 100% pure noni fruit leather.

We encourage you to come visit us on Kauai to try fresh noni right from the tree and see what the true traditional experience is like. But if you don’t have access to noni trees every day, you can rest assured that our products are as close to the raw fruit as you can get.

Taking Noni Internally as Raw Food

This is where the real work gets done: when you let noni heal from the inside out. Taking noni internally helps the beneficial compounds in the fruit make the most difference on your body’s systems.

Evidence shows that noni was traditionally eaten daily, both as a natural preventative and for healing a wide variety of conditions, both chronic and acute.

Natural Preventative

Noni was most commonly used as a preventative for a variety of conditions. It has proved itself excellent at maintaining good health, increasing energy levels and holding illness and aging at bay.

Ancient Polynesians valued the noni fruit in large part because of its ability to keep them vital and healthy. It was eaten daily to promote good health.

Healing Long-Term Conditions

Eating noni can also take action against long-term conditions that often resist other treatment. Great examples are diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, high blood pressure and joint pain. When ancient Polynesians got sick, they upped their daily noni intake while they healed.

We recommend taking two to four 2x2 inch pieces per day for healing chronic conditions. You can expect to see results over time, ranging from a week to a month depending on the condition and the severity.

Applying Noni Topically

Topical noni application is another widely known traditional use. Raw fruit was often applied to the skin for various reasons. Noni applied to the skin heals from the outside in, helping build and maintain healthy skin and penetrating deep into the tissue to attack pain at its source.

Promotes Long-Term Skin Health

One reason ancient Polynesians applied noni to the skin was as a long-term preventative. Applied daily, noni fights signs of aging, protects against skin conditions, and heals sun damage.

You might not be able to apply fresh noni fruit to your skin each day, but our Noni Lavender Lotion is made of just noni pulp, water, lavender, and a little grapefruit seed extract. The Noni Lavender Lotion is 99.2% organic noni pulp.

Relieving Pain Symptoms

Chronic pain relief was another traditional use of noni. Noni fruit was applied to inflamed, bruised, strained, or otherwise painful areas to bring relief while healing.

Current published research has shown that the beneficial compounds in noni are75% as effective as morphine for pain relief, but without any of the side effects. Professional athletes use noni to keep pain at bay so they’re ready perform—ancient Polynesians did the same thing.

We created two formulas using menthol and camphor to take the pain relief to the next level: our IcyHeat Noni Lotion is 4% menthol camphor and our IcyHeat Sports Formula is 5% menthol camphor for quickness of response.

Summer Skin Part 5: Skin Ailments, Bruises, Sprains, and Fractures

Spending lots of time outside in nature is one of the best parts of summer. But summertime also has lots of dangers for your skin. Good thing Hawaiian Organic Noni is here to help! Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing all kinds of ways that our Noni lotions and Noni Fruit Leather can keep your skin healthy this summer.

Being active in the outdoors is great for your mental and physical well-being, but hiking, playing sports, and gardening outside gives you lots of opportunities to get scraped, bumped, or worse.

Bruises, sprains, and fractures can all benefit from real Noni products. This powerful fruit can help you heal faster, with less pain and less long-term damage. Keep reading to learn how our products work, and how they contribute to lifelong healthy skin.

What Kinds of Skin Ailments and Conditions Can Noni Heal?

Noni can heal any kind of injury or condition, whether you’ve injured the skin, blood vessels, connective tissue, or a bone.

Skin Ailments

It’s important to help even a small skin ailment to heal as quickly as possible—even more so for larger ones. When your skin begins to heal, it goes through four stages of recovery:

1. Inflammation: Body focuses on preventing further damage with blood clotting, narrowing blood vessels, and using specialized cells to clear debris.
2. Epithelialization: To protect against bacteria and to retain water, new skin cells are formed.
3. Proliferation: Your skin starts building up more permanent skin and capillaries so the cells can make even more new skin.
4. Remodeling: The replacement skin continues to strengthen and blend into undamaged skin.

Noni Lavender Lotion can help every step in this process. It reduces painful inflammation, helps protect against infection, provides building blocks of healthy skin, and helps prevent scarring.

Bruising

You get a bruise when the small veins and capillaries under your skin break, and blood leaks out. As your body heals, your body metabolizes the blood cells that were released. Bruising can be very painful, and it’s good to help them heal as quickly as they can. Noni can help reduce inflammation, soothe pain, and provide materials for tissues to heal themselves.

Sprains and Strains

It’s very important for sprains to heal fully and correctly. If a sprain or strain doesn’t fully heal, you’re at greater risk of injuring the area again. You can also be left with long-term pain and stiffness.

Sprains are damage to ligaments, which are what hold your bones together at the joints. When a ligament is stretched too much, it can become inflamed, or even tear. They’re usually caused by a fall, or other distinct one-time injuries.

Strains are muscle or tendon injuries or tears. This also causes inflammation and a great deal of pain. Chronic strains are due to repetitive motion and overuse of muscles and tendons. Acute strains are from an isolated incident of overstretching or over-contracting a muscle.

Both can benefit from application of Noni lotion, which reduces inflammation and gives the tissues the materials they need to heal. All of our Noni lotions penetrate deep to heal sprains and strainsat the source.

Fractures

If you fracture a bone, you should definitely see a doctor, to get the treatment you need. But it’s also important to give your bone the best chance to heal fully and correctly. Noni lotions can actually penetrate all the way to the bone to promote healing.

How to Use Noni to Heal Injuries

When you first get injured, make sure to perform basic first aid. Clean the skin area and assess the damage. Elevating the injured area can slow bleeding and reduce inflammation. If there’s evidence of a sprain, strain, or fracture, stabilize the area to prevent further damage.

Once you’ve gotten the medical attention you need, if any, it’s time to start a healing routine. This is where Noni can make a big difference. Here’s how to use the different formulas we offer to heal different kinds of injuries.

Noni Lavender Lotion

This is our gentlest formula, great for daily use whether you have an injury or not. You can use it to treat multiple ailments and conditions above and below the surface of your skin. It is great for relieving pain, reducing inflammation, preventing infection, and helping repair damage at the source.

• All plant based formula with organic noni pulp, organic lavender and grapefruit seed extract
• Reduces scarring
• Evens out skin tone and texture

Icy Heat Noni Lotion and IcyHeat Sports Formula

These formulas have our Noni Lavender formula as a base, but with the addition of menthol and camphor. The only difference between the two is, the Sports Formula contains more menthol and camphor so it takes effect more quickly. Both provide soothing relief for aching joints and muscles, bruises, and stiffness.

• Apply and let air dry
• Reduces pain and swelling
• Loosens muscle tension and stiffness

Note: Because of the menthol and camphor in this formula, don’t use it on sensitive skin areas. Use Noni Lavender Lotion instead.

Instant Noni Aloe BioBandage

This formula is designed to adhere to the injury, to penetrate into the deep layers of tissue more quickly, for a faster recovery time. This can be used to restore damaged tissue, including muscle, skin, ligament, and bone.

• Apply and let air dry as a protective covering
• Speeds recovery time for sprains and fractures
• Protects the injury

Why Does Noni Help?

Unfermented, slow-dehydrated Noni pulp is able to heal all these different kinds of tissues because it contains over 165 beneficial compounds that benefit the body. These compounds reduce pain, promote new tissue formation, and help prevent infection and scarring.

Here are just a very few of the compounds it contains that help heal the body:

• Vitamins A and C (antioxidants)
• Anthraquinone (helps cells create collagen and other building blocks of healthy skin)
• Scopoletin (anti-inflammatory and analgesic)

Science is only just beginning to understand what traditional wisdom has shown for centuries: Noni heals the body. As more research comes out to explain why it has such powerful effects, we’ll keep you updated!

Get Back to Nature on a Hawaiian Organic Noni Farm Tour

If you’re planning a trip to Kauai and you’re looking for a unique way to get in touch with the natural beauty of the island, consider taking a tour of the farm where we’ve grown organic Noni fruit for over thirty years.

Over the course of a 2 ½ hour personal tour, you’ll gain a unique understanding of the plants and animals of Kauai, and how they contribute to a healthy ecosystem – which includes humans!

Here are some of the things you’ll learn about and experience on your rejuvenating farm tour:

Beautiful Scenery

Kauai is geologically the oldest of the Hawaiian islands at about 5 million years old.  It’s often said to be the most remote and beautiful of the Hawaiian Islands, known as the “Garden Island.”  There’s a reason we’ve chosen to make our home here in the Kaakaaniu Valley – there’s no place like it on Earth.

As you explore the extensive 37 acre organic Noni farm, you’ll get a unique look at the ancient valley and plateau, which has orchards stretching all the way to the Pacific Ocean.

Natural Remedies

You’ll also learn about the ancient Polynesian medicinal fruit we grow here on the plantation.  We’ll tell you all about the history of Morinda Citrifolia – known more commonly as Noni fruit – and how it came to the Hawaiian Islands

.

Noni fruit has been a natural remedy for centuries, eaten raw or rubbed on the body to promote health. We’ll explain how Noni has been used as a health product throughout the years.  Recently, there has been a bulk of published research from scientific laboratory studies, which are beginning to explain what the Polynesians have known for centuries – Noni heals.

Here are just a few of the positive effects Noni can have on the body:

• Boost the immune system
• Decrease inflammation
• Stabilize cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels
• Improved join health
• Youthful skin tone and texture
• Promote cardiovascular health
• Reduce pain

You’ll get the chance to learn the specifics on the farm tour, and browse our collection of articles.  In addition, you’ll get to sample all of the farm’s Noni health products – fruit leather and lotions that can have a dramatic positive impact on the human body.  We’ll explain the uses and benefits of each product, including our Noni products for pets!

Local Plants

As part of the tour, you’ll also get to see some of the wild plants that grow on the plantation.  You’ll see Noni trees growing in the wild, when you’ll get to smell the distinctive scent of the ripe raw fruit, as well sampling this superfood in its natural state.

Intermixed with the wild Noni trees are banana, papaya, mango, lychee, star fruit, avocado, coconut, and banyan trees, as well as many tropical flowers.

We’ve been living in the valley for many years, so we’re experienced tour guides to the native plants of Kauai.

Animals

The farm is home to many wild and domesticated animals.  Some of them, like our native earthworms, have important jobs on the farm.  We’ll show you the “Worm Hotel,” where the worms busily turn kitchen scraps into black gold.  Black gold is what farmers call worm castings, which are hugely beneficial for the soil.

Some of the animals, like Billy Bob (one of the farm’s local roosters)and Bhakti (the farm’s 10 year old Australian Sheppard and Airedale mix)are fixtures of everyday farm life.

Then there are the beautiful wild animals that make the Kaakaaniu Valley their home.  You may see an albatross soaring above the ocean, or even a dolphin if you’re very lucky.

Exploring Icy Heat Noni Lotion By Hawaiian Organic Noni

Whether you are nursing a sports injury or just feel sore after a long day at work, your body can benefit from a soothing layer of Icy Heat Noni lotion made by Hawaiian Organic Noni. The makers of Noni lotion created this special topical treat using fresh ingredients, including real noni fruit. The result was a product that benefits the skin while penetrating deep beneath the skin to target tired muscles and provide pain relief.

History of Icy Heat

The idea behind Icy Heat Noni lotion really took off with assistance from a sports trainer from the University of Hawaii named Melody Toth. The initial mixture was soothing and effective, but did not catch everyone's attention as expected. As a result, the creators began brainstorming a solution that would make their lotion more popular than ever. After several tries, the addition of menthol and camphor caught athletes' attention, which helped the lotion show its stuff. The new mixture invigorated the senses while providing deep sports pain relief.

Common Uses

Today, athletes rub the lotion onto their neck, back, shoulders, legs and arms to treat all over soreness. A light massage helps the lotion soak into the skin faster while jumpstarting the healing process deep in the body. The tingling sensations from the camphor and menthol really tell athletes the lotion is working. About a minute after using the lotion, athletes are limber and ready to continue their game.

Benefits

The superstar of the mixture, Noni fruit, has improves joint health, blood pressure levels and immune system strength. Noni also benefits the skin from the epidermis to the subcutaneous tissue. Using Noni lotion once per day helps keep the skin smooth and supple as well. The natural ingredients used in the lotion help the skin retain moisture and repair itself over time.
