Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Noni {I believe} is a fruit that comes from the Hawaiian Islands, There probably is no Ayurvedic name, although maybe one of the Sanskrit scholars on this forum can come up with one for you. My guess is that it is Pitta and Kapha increasing while Vata decreasing since it is sour/sweet. It uses to be a big seller at a large health food store that I work at for 7 years. The way I gauged the medical value of any product was customer feed back. If I had a lot of customers over a period of a year or so come back in and say that a certain product really helped them, then I would have to believe it was more then just a placebo effect and the product was of some value. Noni was not one of these. If it has any value at all it is because it is high in vitamins and minerals. Ayurveda states that "as close to natural as possible". Drinking a concentrated fruit from a bottle at the tune of $30.00 a bottle doesn't feel very natural to me.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 There are several varieties of Morinda (a type of mulberry) Noni is Morinda citrifolia L - in Tamil this is Munja pavattay Morinda umbellata - Noona Kai in Tamil is a differnt plant. Both plants are used as food and medicine. Noni (Morinda citrifolia) has become a fad in USA because of a very aggressive marketing campaign. There is no evidence to support the claims for this product. Periodically people try to sell particular products as cure alls. This is rediculous and against Ayurveda. ayurveda, "J.P." <djpv2002in wrote: > > NUNA is morinda umbellata and called pit daru in sanskrit it grows in south india.I am not aware of its product sold in america and therapeutic uses claimed by them and the basis of the claim so if u give some more details of your question i may be able to throw some light over it.
