What is Noni and where does it grow?

Noni (scientific name: Morinda citrifolia) is an green plant found in coastal regions as well as in forested areas. The Noni plant has small white flowers that develop into a small bumpy fruit. Upon ripening, the fruit acquires a yellowish color. Noni grows in hot tropical environments. It grows wild in places like Hawaii, Fiji, Tahiti, Tonga, Samoa, the Cook Islands and in some Asian countries as well as Central and South America.

What’s the history of Noni?

Ancestors of the Polynesian peoples of the South Pacific discovered Noni about 5000 years ago. These ancient peoples originated in Southeast Asia and migrated west in oceangoing canoes bearing only their necessities, including certain plants they considered sacred due to their life-sustaining properties. Morinda citrifolia – the Noni plant – was revered as a medicinal agent among folk healers. In addition to its many therapeutic uses, Noni fruit was also a source of nourishment in times of famine.

The native Hawaiian Kahuna healers considered Noni their most sacred herb, used for a variety of medicinal purposes. Noni has been central to Hawaiian culture for centuries.

In Malaysia, Noni is known as “Mengkudu” and is used for urinary problems, coughs and menstrual pain. In the Caribbean, people know Noni as the “Pain Killer Tree”.
