Origin: Noni is a native tree, brought to Hawaii by the original Polynesian settlers who came to Hawaii from Marquesas.
Character: The tree has become naturalized in both dry and somewhat moister open areas and in dry and moister forests.
How to obtain the sap：place the ripe fruit in large, closed, clear-glass jars, which are placed in the sun. The heat of the sun causes the fruit to ferment and release a clear sap. This is certainly an easier and quicker method of getting the liquid from the fruit than the old Hawaiian way, which was to pound the fruit to a mash and then squeeze out the liquid and strain it.
Daily use: As a tonic. Noni leaves were brewed for a tea. Made from either fresh or dried leaves, this tea was drunk as a kind of tonic.
Emergency use: Deep cuts and compound fractures. The unripe fruit was pounded and the resulting mash was applied to deep cuts and compound fractures.
