Also known as Bengal quince or stone apple, Bael is an extremely efficient herb, and is sacred in the Hindu religion. Known for its cooling properties, Bael fruit is commonly used to make a refreshing drink during the treacherous summer months. Its oil is commonly used against various types of bacteria and is prescribed for smoothening bowel and gastric movements.
Having found to be a quick reliever against the rotavirus, Bael is used in the treatment of diarrhea, of which thousands of children die every year. It also treats dysentery and has remarkable digestive and carminative properties that are good for a strong gut. Bael has anti-spasm properties, making it an analgesic that helps relieve abdominal colic in babies.
