TRADITIONAL USES OF NONI
Throughout tropical regions, virtually every part of Morinda citrifolia was used to treat disease or injury. it's curative properties were well known and commonly employed. Patoa Tama 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 experience with it like we use juice from it's roots, it's flowers and it's 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 kind of ailments, such as coughs, boils, disease of the skin, and cuts.

-Noni was frequently utilized for its antiparasitic activity in the body.
-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 administered 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 barks.
-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 complaints from flower extracts.
-Leaf infusion were traditionally taken to treat adult fever.
-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.
