Type: article
Abstract: Aegle marmelos, commonly known as Bael, is a traditional medicinal plant with a rich history of use in Ayurvedic and folk medicine. Its bioactive compounds, including alkaloids, flavonoids, and essential oils, exhibit diverse pharmacological activities, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, antimicrobial, and hepatoprotective effects. Recent studies highlight its potential in managing gastrointestinal disorders, metabolic conditions like diabetes, and liver diseases. The fruit, leaves, and bark of Aegle marmelos are the primary sources of its therapeutic properties. Clinical evidence supports its safety and efficacy, though further randomized controlled trials are required to establish standardized dosages and treatment protocols. This review consolidates pharmacological insights and explores the clinical potential of Aegle marmelos extracts in modern medicine.
