Its glossy, aromatic, heart-shaped leaves are used in refreshing preparations like paan, as well as in Ayurveda for their digestive and medicinal benefits.

With proper care, the Betel Leaf Plant grows quickly, climbing beautifully on supports, trellises, or fences. Beyond its practical uses, it is also considered auspicious in many households and rituals.
