The noni plant was the most important and widely used Polynesian medicinal plant prior to the arrival of Europeans with Tahitian healers using it in many remedies.Noni is a tiny oval-shaped greenish-yellow fruit, that carries a distinct pungent odour and bitter taste, thereby often being dubbed as cheese fruit or vomit fruit. It is also known commonly in English as Indian mulberry, great morinda and beach mulberry.Some uses of the fruit include the treatment of inflammation, abscesses, angina, diabetes, ranula, abdominal fibromas, and scorpionfish stings
