Abstract

Binglang, Semen Arecae, is the dry mature seed of Areca catechu L. (Palmaceae) collected between late spring and early fall. It is recommended in traditional Chinese medicine as an anthelminthic, antimalarial, antidysenteric, and digestant for treatment of ascaris, tapeworms, fasciolopsiasis, malaria, dysentery, and dyspepsia.
