The rich volcanic soil of our plantations, combines with the clean air and pure
water of Borneo to provide the perfect environment in which to grow nutrient-rich
noni fruit. Noni (botanically known as Morinda Citrifolia) is a shrub or small tree
in the Rubiaceae family. The plant is native to Southeast Asia but has been introduced
far afield, throughout India and into the Pacific islands as far as Tahiti. Noni
grows in shady forests (making it ideal for Balung Plantation), as well as on open
rocky or sandy shores. It reaches maturity in about 18 months and then yields between
4-8 kg of fruit every month throughout the year. It is tolerant of saline soils,
drought conditions, and secondary soils. The fruit has a pungent odour when ripe,
and is therefore sometimes known as cheese fruit. It is in oval shape and reaches
4-7 cm in size. At first green, the fruit (which contains many seeds) turns yellow
then almost white as it ripens. Despite its strong smell and bitter taste, the fruit
is nevertheless eaten as a famine food and, in some Pacific islands, even a staple,
either raw or cooked. Southeast Asians and Australian Aborigines consume the fruit
raw with salt or cook it with curry. The seeds are edible when roasted. Traditionally,
the fruit has been used for diabetes, halitosis, hemorrhoids, tumours, tuberculosis,
high blood pressure and as a tonic for overall health and energy. The leaves have
been ingested in remedies for arthritis, digestive problems, parasites, and dysentery.
Topically, the leaves, fruit, and roots are used in poultices for arthritis and
joint pain, for headaches, burns and lesions, poisonous bites and to diminish signs
of aging. Noni is used by some cancer patients for its anti-cancer and tumor-reducing
possibilities. Some sufferers from immune-compromised diseases such as AIDS and
chronic fatigue syndrome use noni to boost the function of the immune system. People
with diabetes and hypoglycemia have reported that noni helps stabilise blood sugar
levels. Suffers of arthritis, joint pain, and inflammatory conditions have used
noni. Other uses include as a sedative, painkiller, sleeping aid, removal of intestinal
parasites, cleansing the digestive tract and improving digestion, and for weight
control. It is used as a general health tonic to improve energy, build up resistance
and to slow the effects of aging. Noni is also used for asthma; for digestive disorders
including ulcers; irritable bowel syndrome; constipation and diarrhea, as well as
fibromyalgia, a condition characterised by fatigue and chronic pain.
