The natural benefits and curative properties of
bael fruit
The bael tree is one of the most useful medicinal plants of
India. Its medicinal properties have been described in the
ancient medical treatise in Sanskrit, Charaka Samhita. All the
parts of this tree including stem, bark, root, leaves and fruit
at all stages of maturity has medicinal virtues and has been
used as traditional medicine for a long time.
The fruit is of considerably medicinal value when it just begins
to ripen. The ripe fruit is aromatic, astringent which helps
construction of skin, coolant and laxative. The unripe or
half-ripe fruit is astringent and digestive,
improving appetite. It also helps to fight
scurvy caused due to vitamin C deficiency.
Constipation
Ripe bael fruit is regarded as best of all laxatives. It cleans
and tones up the intestines. Its regular use for two or three
months helps evacuate even the old accumulated fecal matter
from the bowels. For best results, it should be taken in the
form of sherbet, which is prepared from the pulp of the ripe
fruit. After breaking the shell, the seeds are first removed,
and contents are then taken out with a spoon and passed through
a sieve. Milk and little sugar may be added to make it more
palatable. The pulp of the ripe fruit can also be taken from the
spoon without the addition of milk or sugar. About 60 grams of
the fruit will suffice for an adult.
Diarrhea and Dysentery
The unripe or half ripe fruit is perhaps, the most effective
food remedy for chronic diarrhea and dysentery where there is no
fever. Best results are obtained by the use of dried bael or its
powder. The bael fruit, when it is still green, is sliced and
dried in the sun. The dried bael slices are reduced into powder
and preserved in air-tight bottles. The unripe bael can also be
baked and taken with brown sugar.
The fruit appears to have little effect in acute dysentery when
there is definite sensation to defecate but instead of
significant amount of feces, blood and mucus alone are passed.
The powdered drug is specially recommended in this condition.
Its beneficial effect its, however, most evident when the
condition has become sub-acute or chronic. After the use of the
fruit in these conditions, the blood gradually disappears and
the stool assume a more feculent and solid form. The mucus also
disappears after continued use for some time. It is also a
valuable remedy for chronic dysenteric conditions characterized
by alternate diarrhea and constipation.
Peptic Ulcer
An infusion of bael leaves is regarded as an effective food
remedy for peptic ulcer. The leaves are soaked overnight in
water. This water is strained and taken as a drink in the
morning. The pain and discomfort are relieved when this
treatment is continued for a few weeks. Bael leaves are rich in
tannins which reduce inflammation and help healing of ulcers.
The bael fruit taken in the form of beverage has also great
viscous content. This substance forms a coating on the stomach
mucosa and thus helps in the healing of ulcers.
Respiratory Impairment
A medicated oil prepared from bael leaves gives relief from
recurrent colds and respiratory affections. The juice extracted
from bael leaves is mixed with equal quantity of sesame oil and
heated thoroughly. A few seeds of black pepper and half a
teaspoonful of black cumin are added to the hot oil. It is then
removed from the fire and stored for use when necessary. A
teaspoonful of this oil should be massaged into the scalp before
a head bath. Its regular use builds up resistance against colds
and coughs.
A common practice in south India is to give the juice of bael
leaves to bring relief from wheezing and respiratory spasm. The
leaf juice, mixed in warm water with a little pepper, is given as
a drink.
