Noni vs Cancer: the Science
Welcome to the second of a series of science insights on plants with medical properties that have been used traditionally for hundreds of years.
You can watch the first chapter on Morinda Citrifolia ,or as it is most commonly known “Noni” plant here: “The medical uses of Noni”.
We will review all the scientific evidences which have been carried out in recent years to understand the traditional uses of this plant and its mechanism of function for the treatment of various cancers.
