What's the deal with Noni?

Noni (Morinda Citrifolia) was originally used to treat diabetes, high blood pressure and heart problems. Though we do not make any claims that Noni actually and single-handedly cures diseases or ailments, we do know that people taking Noni as directed have reported experiencing noticeable and, in many instances, remarkable results in their various conditions.

Noni Powder - An antioxidant rich cargo

Sometimes you can't improve the perfection of Mother Nature; that's why our Noni fruit powder is 100% natural, with nothing added and as little as possible taken away. Like many of LightWay Nutritions antioxidant rich Superfood Powders it's freeze-dried. This allows the powder to retain the nutritional benefits of the raw Noni fruit, helping to boost your immune system, digestive system and increase your energy and vitality.

Believed to have originated in India over 2000 years ago, the Noni fruit can now be found in India and the lush tropical islands of Hawaii and the South Pacific. Noni was a precious cargo. With limited space, bringing only the most vital items for future generations, ancient explorers made room for Noni fruit on their journeys to new lands. These intrepid travelers had many uses for the Noni tree beyond their faith in its medicinal benefits, but its primary value was as a medicinal remedy. Among its many uses, they believed that the Noni fruit strengthened the digestive system, helped increase energy and vitality, and had antibacterial and antiseptic properties.

The Noni tree does especially well in the lava rich soil of the tropics; the Noni fruit looks like a little like a potato but grows from green, to yellow to a transparent white when ripened. They are picked when yellow for optimum nutritional value. LightWay Nutrition's Noni Powder comes from the rich lava soils of Hawaii.

Recent studies and/or centuries of use indicate that Noni (Morinda citrifolia) powder may:

~Be a valuable source of vitamins, minerals & powerful antioxidants to support a healthy immune system

~Help the production of T-cells, important in maintaining good health

~Support the growth of cellular tissue

~Help as an anti-tumor supplement

Ionic Foot Bath Detox

Ionic Foot Bath Detox...

An Alternative Solution for your Overall Health & Well-Being

As part of our usual body functionality we naturally detoxify every day. Eliminating toxins and waste via our kidneys, liver, colon, lymph, glands, lungs and skin. Toxins can be found in our everyday environment; tobacco, alcohol, food additives, drugs and anaesthetics, pesticides, heavy metals and industrial pollutants. We need our body to function optimally and rid our systems of these toxins as they are harmful waste products that attack our immune system and can cause a wide variety of side effects, including lethargy and tiredness, headaches and migraines, colds and flu, bad skin, breath and body odor problems, sinus problems, the list goes on. In fact, some theory exists suggesting that detoxification may be at some point an alternative to the prevention of immune deficiency diseases.

Our body is a very complex piece of engineering, and in its simplest form is a collection of cells and tissue. Cells consist of electrical charges and ideally contain an even proportion of positive and negative ions. In this “ideal” state we are perfectly balanced and our body functions by removing toxins and absorbing nutrients from food, water and oxygen. When the body experiences any form of trauma, which can be caused by poor diet, ill health or injury, the cells become more positively charged and consequently do not work as effectively and the process of storing toxins begins. Even a lack of exercise promotes toxic build up as our cells are insufficiently oxidized. Therefore stagnation of our natural detoxification process occurs.

The Ionic Foot Bath Detox starts the process of rebalancing your body’s bioenergy. By producing negative ions, it effectively rebalances the cells equilibrium of positive and negative ions which, in turn ‘kick starts’ the dispersal of unwanted toxins.

The Process

The relaxing 30 minute treatment involves placing your feet into a spa bowl filled with warm saline solution. An Energizing Ionic Cartridge is then placed in the bowl that creates a flow of electrons and bioenergetic field that provides a relaxing and enjoyable treatment. The feet have an amazing 2000 pores each foot and therefore offer one of the best points to administer the treatment which is both efficient and convenient. The Ionic Foot Bath Detox rebalances and harmonizes by sending signals up through the lymph glands to stimulate the detox process.

At first you might notice a slight color change that is due to the current affecting the saline. As the process continues and toxins are drawn out of the body, the water may turn darker. Deposits may surface on top of the water. This, also, is due to the toxin removal process. At the end, you should feel more energized and balanced. Occasionally, people will feel somewhat drained at the end of the process. Much depends on the amount of toxins drawn from the body.

Why Should We Detox?

Toxins constantly bombard the human body on a daily basis. In our food there are hormones, pesticides and numerous chemicals. We ingest chemicals in our water if it is not correctly filtered. We take prescription allopathic medications such as antibiotics. If you have had any surgical procedure you now have chemicals in your body stored both in the organs and also on a cellular level. If you smoke, drink caffeine and/or alcohol you have toxins in your body. After a while the organs of excretion (kidneys, liver, lungs, lymphatic system) get overloaded and cannot function properly, leading to poor health and poor quality of life.


· Do you suffer from recurrent colds & flu, insomnia, allergies, unexplained rashes, frequent headaches, fatigue?

· Have you been taking medications?

· Have you been exposed to toxins in your everyday life?

· Do you just feel lousy and not know why?


If you have answered yes to any of the above questions, you may want to think about detoxing. The fewer toxins in the body, the better the quality of life. Understanding the need for periodic detoxing is paramount to realizing good overall health and optimal immune response. See how LightWay Nutrition can help you out.
