Betel nut, nicknamed 'buai' by Papuan's, is a stimulant drug, very popular in Papua New Guinea. It is consumed with a mustard stick dipped in slaked lime powder. Many people chew betel nut for the energy boost it produces. This is likely due to the nut's natural alkaloids, which release adrenaline. It may also result in feelings of euphoria and wellbeing. On the other hand, betel nut chewing is also an important cultural practice.

Note: Betel nut colours red people teeth, tongue, mouth and lips and makes them spit a lot. Chewing betel nut is addictive, and can cause a host of health problems, including oral cancers!
