AB - In ancient times, folks tried somewhat to find suitable medications
for the purpose of healing or using them against diseases. On account of lack
of the medicle facilities as well as supplies, herbal medicine was used to a
wide degree. One of the most beneficial fruit in the tropical areas which has
been flourishingly planted is Morinda citrifolia L. which know as Noni,
has been utilized as a remedy for >2000 years by Polynesians. The need of
Noni increases due to importance of widely curative influences such as anticancer,
antioxidant, antitumor, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, hypertensive,
antiinflammatory and antimicrobial. A correlated literature review and crucially
relevant approaches of Noni is achieved; for the purpose of not only reiewing
the primary significance which justifies the Polynesians but also expressing
the nutritional as well as remedial values of Noni.
