Medicinal history and current application status of Arecae Semen

Binlang (Arecae Semen), a traditional Chinese medicinal material with a long history of use in our country Chinese traditional medicine, which has the functions of expelling parasites, promoting digestion, promoting qi, draining water-dampness and stopping malaria. However, there have been numerous negative reports in recent years linking oral cancer to the consumption of Arecae Semen. While the focus has primarily been on its edible properties, the medicinal value of Arecae Semen has been overlooked. Hainan Province is the main producing area for Arecae Semen in China, which is mainly edible, which seriously restricts the use and development space of Arecae Semen, and is not conducive to the sustainable development of Arecae Semen industry in Hainan. Through sorting out the historical contexts of efficacy of Arecae Semen found in classics of traditional Chinese medicine dating back to the Han dynasty, this paper summarizes the understanding of its efficacy throughout past dynasties as well as its clinical application and sorts out the current state of medicinal use and existing research reports on its safety. The aim is to provide valuable insights for the development and utilization of Arecae Semen medicine.
