#SEROTONIN: Noni has been shown to make specific brain proteins (enzymes) more receptive to endorphins that have potent analgesic properties. This supports the traditional use of noni to control pain.
#Serotonin is a #neurotransmitter (sending electrical impulses from on nerve cell to another) and is believed to affect a wide range of emotional and physical responses. Decreased serotonin levels can stimulate hunger impulses, and negatively affect sleep patterns, temperature regulation, pain responses, cognition, motor functions and emotional moods.
Noni has been used in rehabilitation programs to help people escape from #dependency on #drugs, #alcohol, #nicotine, overeating and other habitual substances and obsessive behaviors. By adjusting serotonin levels people are able to feel good without the need for these substances thus reducing the physical component of these obsessive behaviors and addictions.
