Noni As a Life Support System
Like many alternative and natural medicines, noni has enjoyed a revival in the last few years thanks to the commercialization of natural medicines.
However, the herb has proved controversial. Claims abound that noni cures numerous diseases. However, there is little scientific research to support these claims. Consumers must be cautious with respect to believing noni's cure-all properties.
This essay will provide an overview of some of the benefits associated with the fruit. However, we have no definitive proof of these benefits.
- Some claim that noni treats arthritis and burns. This is based on the herb's ability to reduce associated inflammation.
- Reports also suggest that it helps fight cancer and drug addiction. These claims might appear suspect to ordinary consumers because they refer to serious conditions that have been extensively researched in the medical world. If there had been a simple solution all along, it may have been developed long ago.
- People with burns, diabetes and colds are advised to take the noni fruit. Again, there is no definitive proof.
- Noni is also believed to treat malaria, stroke, menstrual cramps, gingivitis and ringworm.
The noni fruit has been marketed extensively. It now features heavily in food supplements. Some scientific research indicates that the fruit contains polysaccharide elements that could help strengthen the immune system and combat the appearance of tumors. Noni extracts have been used in antiseptics, laxatives and fungicides, indicating that there is anecdotal evidence of some of its benefits even outside the marketing hype. Research into this fruit continues and people will just have to wait and see whether the hype is warranted.
