LIMESTONE PASTE & DRIED YOUNG BETEL NUTS
Betel nut is a substance chewed by millions of people around the world. Traditionally, betel nut was thought to be beneficial to oral hygiene, appetite and saliva production.
Despite the name "betel nut," the substance that people chew in many areas of the world is usually a mixture of two plant items and lime minerals. The nut portion is the
areca
nut, which comes from the palm tree
Areca catechu
. Sometimes, the nut and lime is contained inside a wrapping of leaves from the betel vine,
Piper betel
. In other preparations all the ingredients are mixed together as powder.
Often, the betel nut is consumed with tobacco in a product called
gutka
. Other flavorings like cloves, sugars or cardamom are optional. Although people who like chewing betel nut may make their own product, commercial forms are also available. Commonly, chewing betel nut results in high saliva production, and the chewers either swallow the extra saliva or spit it out
Betel nut use may alleviate some of the symptoms of schizophrenia, but not enough evidence, as of 2011, is available to make this more than a possibility. Other areas of medicine where the substance may provide small benefits include recovery from stroke and the intestinal condition ulcerative colitis, although not enough evidence exists to prove this. The nut is believed to have slightly beneficial effects on the prevention of tooth cavities.
