ABSTRACT

The World Health Organization accepted a major policy change when it agreed that most developing countries should use more traditional medical practices in primary care. Piper betel L. belongs to the Piperaceae family, commonly known as Pan. It is widely cultivated in Sri Lanka, India, Thailand, Taiwan and other Southeast Asian countries. This oil can be used as an industrial raw material for the production of medicines, perfumes, mouth fresheners, tonics, food, etc. The leaves are nutritious and contain anti-cancer substances that promise the production of a blood cancer drug. The purpose of this review is to summarize the medicinal values of Piper betel that have emerged from research activities using modern scientific approaches and innovative scientific tools.
