ARECAE, Semen / Bing Lang

ARCAE, Semen (Chinese: 槟榔 Bing Lang)

• Parasiticide
• Antiparasitic herb
  

Bing Lang is considered a parasiticide or antiparasitic herb. According to our East Earth Trade Winds herbalist it is traditionally used for tapeworms and other intestinal parasites such as fasciolopsis (found in southern and SE Asia), pinworms, roundworms and blood flukes. It also promotes the movement of Qi and leads stagnation out by draining downward. It can unblock the bowels and is good for food accumulation, stagnant Qi with distension, and constipation. It also promotes urination and can be used for retention of fluids (edema). Our East Earth Trade Winds herbalist says that a lesser known folk use of this herb is for muscle cramps.
