Betel nut is a misnomer, as the name actually implies the Areca nut wrapped in a Betel leaf.

My interest is in the Betel leaf.
The juice from the leaf and stem applied to the skin seems relieve a number of skin irritations and brings instant pain relief.
When chewed, the leaf has a variety of medical uses, curing worms, headaches, relief arthritis and joint pain.
It also has antibiotic effects when placed on open cuts. I am adding the Betel to my garden.
