The chewing of Areca nut quids dates to antiquity. In the 1st century AD, Sanskrit medical writings claimed that Areca nut possessed 13 qualities found in the region of heaven. It is pungent, bitter, spicy, sweet, salty, and astringent. It was said to expel wind, kill worms, remove phlegm, subdue bad odors, beautify the mouth, induce purification, and kindle passion. Because of its CNS stimulating effects, Areca nut is used in a manner similar to the western use of tobacco or caffeine.
