What are the Benefits of Hawaiian Noni Juice?
- Noni is a fruit that can be found growing in many Southeast Asian countries, Australia and on the Pacific Islands, including Tahiti and Hawaii. Most commercial noni is either from Tahiti or Hawaii. The noni plant is a tree that grows to about 30 feet tall and produces 8 to 18 lbs. of fruit a month. Ripe noni fruit is yellowish-white in color, about 2 to 3 inches in size and has an acerbic smell when it is ripe. Noni fruit tastes strong and bitter. In Hawaii, noni trees flourish in the nutrient rich volcanic soils of the Puna area of the Big Island.
- Hawaiian noni juice is a juice made from noni fruits grown on the Big Island of Hawaii. Even today, native Hawaiian noni farmers process the noni fruit to make juice using the same methods their ancestors used for centuries. They collect the ripe noni fruits, wash them and leave them in the sun to dry and further ripen for no more than a couple of hours. By then, the skin of the noni fruits has turned translucent, the flesh has begun to soften and the fruits have their characteristic acid smell. Then, the fully ripened noni fruits are packed into large containers and left outside to ferment. The juice will naturally seep out from the fruits into the containers. After six to eight weeks, the noni juice is bottled by pouring it through a strainer.
- Noni juice can be used to alleviate pain and inflammation. While typical pain medications block all the enzymes---the ones causing pain responses and the ones with healing powers---noni juice not only protects stomach, kidney and liver cells from the harmful effects of drugs, it also encourages the healing enzymes to continue their work. Because of this, you can use noni juice to improve your recovery after a workout and to alleviate joint and muscle discomfort caused by arthritis and fibromyalgia.
- Adaptogens are substances that balance different body systems. Noni juice is one of 12 adaptogens, actually a premier adaptogen. In addition, noni juice lowers the acidity of body chemistry. This creates more alkaline environment in your body and helps the body fight against diseases and maintain healthy tissues. Noni juice also works with the serotonin and melatonin levels in your body to improve your sleep cycles and your energy levels and to regulate your mood cycles and your body temperature.
- If you have allergies, noni juice can help you with your symptoms. Noni juice supports your immune system by boosting it, and the juice also regulates it by controlling the common symptoms of allergic and auto-allergic responses. Noni juice also has phytonutrients, which help your body maintain healthy blood pressure levels, and its antioxidants help neutralize free radicals in your body and prevent DNA damage that can cause cancers. Noni juice enhances the fighting power of white blood cells against several diseases, such as cancer, and it also has the ability to disrupt the blood networks supporting cancerous tumors.
