For a long time, our people as well as many other nations in the world such as Cambodia, Philippines, India . have known how to use noni trees to make medicine. Through the practical results noted, the scientists have also been interested in studying the Noni plant. In 1848, Anderson, a French scientist, separated from the root of Moridin with the general formula C28H30O15 and Moridon with formula C15H10O5. Next, many other researchers such as Perkin Hummel (1894), Simonson (1920), Briggs (1948) also continued these works.

In Vietnam, one of the 300 South Vietnamese drugs was encouraged by Doctor Nguyen An Cu (1877-1949), a famous physician of the South before the August Revolution. for patients. The forest and creased roots are also two of 208 herbal medicines recorded by Viet Cuc in the "Southern medicine of weakness" (1965). Especially since 1952, Dr. Dang Van Ho, former director of the Lao Ngo Quyen hospital and his colleagues, has studied for decades the effects of creasing roots on patients. This work was then summarized and published in 1973. Professor Do Tat Loi, a well-known researcher on 'Vietnamese medicinal plants and herbs' also mentioned the coriander and taste of this medicine. Go to the list of blood pressure medications. At present, many domestic pharmaceutical enterprises have also produced pills and water pills extracted from creases. Thus, it can be said that long-standing plants have been studied and used in traditional medicine as well as in modern medicine.

'

Neurotransmitter properties are also shown in the effectiveness of blood pressure regulation, drugs will lower blood pressure in people with high blood pressure or high blood pressure in people with low blood pressure.'In some cases of poor health because the blood pressure is often too low, we also give patients the use of creased root drugs and only those drugs have increased their blood pressure to 2 or 3 indicators'.
