Product Benefits
| Category | Benefits |
| Culinary Benefits | Betel nut is primarily consumed as a stimulant and digestive aid, often chewed with betel leaves and lime paste in a preparation known as “paan.” It provides a unique astringent flavor that enhances the overall sensory experience of the mixture. |
| Traditional Medicinal Benefits | – Digestive Health: Believed to stimulate appetite and aid in digestion, helping with issues such as constipation. – Oral Health: Traditionally used to promote oral hygiene and freshen breath, although long-term use can lead to adverse effects. – Stimulant Properties: Contains alkaloids like arecoline, which provide a mild stimulant effect, increasing alertness and reducing fatigue. |
| Modern Medical Benefits | Limited scientific evidence supports the health benefits of betel nut; however, it is recognized for its stimulant properties. Long-term use poses health risks, including increased likelihood of oral cancer and other health issues. |
| Benefits for Cosmetics | Betel nut is not commonly utilized in cosmetic formulations; therefore, specific cosmetic benefits are not documented in standard practices. |
