Abstract : Piper betel L.comes in family Piperaceae and called Paan leaves in india . Piper betel or Betel vine deep heart shaped .This betel leaf widely shown in Sri Lanka, India, Thailand, Taiwan and other Southeast Asian countries. The oil of paan may be used as an industrial raw material for manufacturing medicines, perfumes, mouth fresheners, tonics, food additives etc. The betel leaves are shows nutritive property as well as carcinogenic property which is very usefull for manufacturing of blood cancer drug which is greatest advantage of betel leaf. Their leaves have been used as a traditional medicine to treat various health conditions. This paan is highly abundant and inexpenxsive, therefore it promotes the further research and industrialization development, including in the food and pharmacuitical industries. P. betle leaves displayed high efficiency on Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans. Piper betel is mostly use to chew with sliced areca nut, slaked lime, coriander, aniseed, clove, cardamom, sweetener, coconut scrapings etc, but less used remedy. This paan can cure many diseases and reduce the oral cancer which actually happens due to sliced areca nut, slaked lime not because of betel leaves.It contains high amount of nutrient like water,protein , energy , fats , fibres ,calcium etc. y. It is cultivated in hotter and damper part incountry following the traditional methods in India on about 55,000 hectare with an annual production worth about Rs 9000 million. It shows antimicrobial activity, antidiabetic ,Gastroprotective , platelet inhibition activity ,Antifertility like other onens properties ,also they shows the antioxidant , antiallergic , anti coagulant , anti inflammatory , radioprotective , anticancer potential like activities .

Keywords : Intro to Piper Betel, Chemical Constituents, there Effect on Indian System , Nutritive Value , Therapeutic Importance, Pharmacological Activity , Health Effect of Betel Leaves , Antimicrobial Activity , Antihistaminic Activity Etc .
