Noni is a small evergreen tree in the Pacific Islands, Southeast Asia, Australia, and India that often grows among lava flows. Historically, noni was used to make a red or yellow dye for clothing. It was also used as medicine, usually applied to the skin. It is an extremely pungent tasting fruit and it works as an adaptogen, therefore, it will mix with the components of an individual and provide the necessary nutrients and support that they need. Noni is so effective because of its scopoletin and antioxidant properties. Scopoletin is a phytochemical that performs many functions. It seems to normalize blood pressure, fight bacteria, and regulate serotonin levels, in addition to relieving pain and inflammation. Noni has a high source of antioxidants which are beneficial in repairing damage caused to cells.
