Food Supplements - Noni - Ailments / Situations Where Used

Noni is commonly used as a general health tonic by Polynesian culture. It has antioxidant, immune stimulating, muscle healing, and analgesic/painkilling properties.

Those with strained muscles and joints, surface injuries, inflammation, and sleeping problems have reported improvement when supplementing with Noni. Noni stimulates helper T-cells, macrophages, and lymphocytes in the immune system, providing a kick-start to the body's natural healing abilities. It has also been used to treat arthritis, asthma, diabetes, hypertension/high blood pressure, menstrual cramps, ulcers, urinary tract infection, and other bacterial infections.

There is little scientific research on the health benefits of Noni. A compound called damnacanthal is being evaluated for its anti-cancer potential and ability to inhibit the Epstein-Barr virus -- linked with chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia syndrome, and mononucleosis.
