Wild plant of the south and western basin of the

»Noni
Morinda
citrifolia
A number of nutritional supplements are available in today's health food stores. These are merely new discoveries of the old cures, of the old medicine. One such rediscovered natural health aid is Noni - Morinda Citrifolia
Knowledge of
noni's health benefits has been passed from parents to children for
countless generations in all the tropical countries. For
example, in Panama and Colombia, noni is a fruit which can be freely
purchased in the market place. Department stores offer both the noni
pulp and the noni juice.
Borojoa patinoi Harvesting:
Unlike the Noni fruit, the borojo fruit is harvested in rather primitive conditions. As this fruit grows in very rich soil, on river banks in the jungles of the province of Darien, it would be quite difficult to use other means but the horse back to harvest this rare fruit. Once harvested, these fruits are transported on boats on the rivers of Darien, to the Pacific, where they are loaded on a ship which then comes to Panama City, where we examine and purchase them.
The fruit cannot be harvested green. This would inflict a tremendous stress upon the borojo tree. At maturity the fruit turns brown, and falls on the ground. Only then the fruit can be harvested, and only then, the fruit has all the properties it is known for.
