How Is It Used?
The noni is used in several forms like tea, juice, tonic and even poultice. Although the noni juice is extremely nutritious there is one unpleasant thing about it. Unfortunately the taste and odour of both the fruit and the juice is repelling.

The manufacturers also mix fruit juices to noni juice so if you try to buy the juice off the market; chances are that you will not find a 100% noni juice.
