- Morinda Citrifolia is the scientific name given to the tree or plant known as “Indian Mulberry” or “Noni” in Hawaiian. In Ancient Ayurvedic manuscripts of India the called it “Ashyuka” which means “Longevity” and explained that Morinda citrifolia balances the body, stabilizing it in a state of perfect harmony. The name “noni” is actually Polynesian. However, throughout the tropics, it is conceived in different ways. It is locally called as “Mengkudo” in Malaysia, “Nhau” in Southeast Asia, but specifically called “Apatot” and “Bangkuro” in the Philippines. Because of its distinctive smell, Australian called it as “Cheese fruit”. In the South Pacific, it is called “Nonu” same in the islands of Samoa and Tonga. In the island of Raratonga and Tahiti it is called “Nono”. While in the world, specifically Marquesas Island and Hawaii it is known as “Noni”, possibly because the Hawaiian tradition is where we find the richest history of Noni use. In Hawaii, most significant and broad research and study of its medicinal value is ongoing today. Through the age of history, people from diverse land and culture accept its value.
