Abstract
Areca nut (also known as betel nut) is the seed of the fruit of the areca palm (Areca catechu). Betel nut chewing is an important cultural practice in some regions in south and south-east Asia and the Asia Pacific. It has traditionally played an important role in social customs, religious practices and cultural rituals. The chewing of areca nut has always been a topic of controversy worldwide. Though when used occasionally areca nut has many beneficial effects, its excessive use causes dangerous adverse effects hence the good effects are masked. This article gives an overall review on areca nut, its origin, cultivation, composition, and general uses and side effects.
