Fresh Indonesian Noni Fruit

Noni fruits are a source of potassium to balance fluid levels within the body, vitamin C to strengthen the immune system, antioxidants to reduce inflammation, and contains other nutrients, including vitamin E, biotin, phosphorus, iron, and magnesium. In natural medicines, Noni fruits have been used to treat many ailments from ulcers, digestive issues, diabetes, to arthritis. The fruits are most prevalent in Hawaiian medicines, known as la’au lapa’au. Green Noni fruits were often smashed with sea salt and applied topically on skin wounds to relieve pain and inflammation in Polynesia. White, ripe fruits were also mashed with water and gargled to soothe sore throats, spread over skin irritations, or used on sores around or in the mouth. Some consumers drink Noni fruit juice or take supplements as an immune-boosting, anti-aging supplement in modern medicines.
