Bael (Aegle marmelos L.), a sacred and medicinal plant in traditional Indian systems, has gained increasing scientific attention due to its diverse health benefits and therapeutic properties. This comprehensive review aims to explore the medicinal potential of bael, highlighting its phytochemical composition, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory activities, along with its role in treating various ailments such as diabetes, gastrointestinal disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. The fruit, leaves, and roots of bael possess potent bioactive compounds, including alkaloids, flavonoids, and coumarins, which contribute to its pharmacological properties. This review also discusses the molecular mechanisms underlying bael’s therapeutic effects, emphasizing its role as a natural remedy with minimal side effects. Future research directions and the development of bael-based nutraceuticals are considered for broader clinical applications.
