from pre-historic time. It has a great mythological significance for Hindus.
Utilization of bael in day-to-day life has great nutritional, environmental as

traditional systems of medicine for relieving constipation, diarrhoea,
dysentery, peptic ulcer and respiratory infections. Important medicinal
properties of bael are antidiabetic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory,
antipyretic, analgesic, cardioprotective, antispermatogenic, anticancer and
radioprotective. The present review deals with general and chemical profile and
its economic importance including medicinal and other uses. |
