How can the Noni Plant help me?
The Noni plant or its actual name “Morinda Citrifolia” is a
tropical wondering plant. It is considered native to Southeast Asia although it
grows from
Centuries ago, the bush fruit was introduced to native Hawaiians. Hawaiian noni has the widest array of medical applications. Samoan and Hawaiian medical doctors used noni for bowel disorders like infant diarrhea, constipation, or intestinal parasites. They also used noni for indigestion, skin inflammation, infection, mouth sores, fever, contusions and sprains. Hawaiians commonly prepared noni tonics designed to treat diabetes, stings, burns, and fish poisoning.
Noni’s ability to reduce joint inflammation and target the immune system has made it the focus of the modern scientific inquiry. Studies investigating noni as an anticancer agent have been encouraging. Its conspicuous attributes and varied uses have elevated its status to one of the best healing herbs. Today “Morinda citrifolia” is available in liquid, juice, freeze-dried capsules, or oil forms.
Is there a secret to the Noni plant? One informed professional on the subject of noni is Dr. Heinicke, a biochemist who has researched the active compounds of noni fruit for a number of years. He discovered that the Hawaiian noni fruit contains an alkaloid precursor to a very vital compound called xeronine. Without xeronine, life would cease. In Dr. Heinicke’s view, noni fruit provides a safe and effective was to increase xeronine levels in the body, profoundly affectiving cell health and protection. His research suggests that the juice from the Morinda Citrifolia fruit contains proxeronine, a precursor of the crucial compound xeronine. Proxeronine initiates the release of xeronine in the intestinal tract after it comes in contact with a specific enzyme, which is also contained in the fruit. This particular chemical combination is believed to significantly affect cellular function for the positive. Furthermore, Dr. Heinicke’s research is based on the premise that one of the primary functions of xeronine is to regulate the shape and integrity of specific proteins. Because proteins and enzymes have so many varied roles within cell processes, the normalization of these proteins with noni supplementation could initiate a very wide variety of body responses and treat many disease conditions. Proteins are the most important catalysts found in the body. By using Noni juice the body can naturally decide how much of this precursor to convert to xeronine. Disease, stress, anger, trauma and injury can lower xeronine levels in the body, thus creating a xeronine deficiency. Supplementing the body with noni Juice is considered an excellent way to safely and naturally raises xeronine levels.
In conclusion, when supplementing with noni juice it should help support the xeronine levels and create healthier cells.
