NONI FRUIT LEATHER
Hawaiian Health Ohana's original organic Noni Fruit Leather has been crafted for internal and external use of all types. It is the ultimate first-aid kit, as it can be used as a bandage, paste, cream, lotion or antibiotic rinse, and, placed in the mouth or eaten, can help toothaches and gum problems, sore throats and colds, internal parasites and stomach disorders, as well as treat a wide variety of chronic diseases. Our Noni products are not fermented, giving them a sweeter taste than those that have been, and are dried at about 115 degrees F.
Advantages of Noni Fruit Leather
1) Noni Fruit Leather has the ability to transform into many forms, making Noni Fruit Leather an ideal first aid kit; it can be used both internally and externally on many problems, often with immediate relief. Many therapeutic products are limited by their forms to one area of use. Noni Fruit Leather can be used as a paste, cream, lotion, rinse or eyewash, with the addition of varying quantities of water, and can be chewed as, swallowed pill-size, or, with the addition of water and blending, drank for internal ailments.
2) There is no need to refrigerate Noni Fruit Leather
3) There is no need to encapsulate powders, which usually require adulterants for processing, in order to take in a pill-like form.
4) There are no inedible, dangerous or questionable ingredients in Noni Fruit Leather. All of our noni is organically grown on the remote island of Kauai, Hawaii.
5) There are no glass or plastic bottles required; the convenient form makes it possible to carry Noni Fruit Leather in pocket, purse, or pack.
6) There is no need of pasteurization, and very low temperatures are used in processing so the maximum enzyme activity is preserved.
7) Noni Fruit Leather makes a long-lasting antiseptic and antibiotic bandage without any other adhesive or covering, in most applications.
8) It is easy and painless to remove Noni Fruit Leather from external applications, using only warm water.
9) Unlike almost all other noni products, Noni Fruit Leather is not allowed to ferment, enabling a better taste and odor
10) Noni Fruit Leather is completely biodegradable, including the cellophane package.
11) There is no need for the bulk and weight of shipping water, which represents over 80% of the expense in shipping liquid forms.

There has been a recent outburst in the amount of research being done into the characteristics and biochemicals of the Noni fruit, due to the testimonials and worldwide interest occurring since the exposure of Noni to the more technologically advanced countries. There are currently many laboratory and clinical trials proving with positive results the many uses the ancient healers ascribed to this plant, as well as discovering new ways to utilize the biochemistry of Noni. Below are listed some of the investigations that have been published.
Many Thanks to all who are doing this vital work!!
