Video – Betelmania
In India, Burma/Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka and other parts of South and South East Asia, the leaves are chewed together in a wrapped package along with the areca nut (which, by association, is often inaccurately called ‘betel nut’) and mineral slaked lime (calcium hydroxide). Betel leaves are used as a stimulant, an antiseptic and breath-freshener.
