Abstract

Aegle marmelos, widely known as Bael, is an Indian plant, that belongs to the family of Lutase family, and has both drugs and cultural importance. Jereni, an overall continent of India, is especially respected in Hindu religious practice in the churches of Shiva and Vishnu, and the leaves symbolize Hinduism. This plant has been used in traditional medicine for over 5000 years and contains a wealth of bioactive compounds, including alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and essential oils, which contribute to its diverse pharmacological properties. Its leaves, fruits, and other parts are used to treat a variety of ailments, including gastrointestinal problems, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes. The ripe fruit is known to have laxative, cooling, and tonic properties, particularly in relieving constipation and dysentery. Phytochemical studies have shown that components of the plant, such as marmelosin and fagarin, exhibit antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Bael's cultural and medicinal roles are further enriched by its use in Ayurvedic formulations and its potential in managing chronic diseases. The plant’s diverse uses underscore its importance in both traditional medicine and Indian rituals, highlighting its enduring significance as a therapeutic and sacred plant.
