Every part of a tree, including its root, bark, fruit, leaf, and flower, is used to treat ailments in both ayurvedic and other mainstream medical systems. By identifying the occurrence of beneficial bioactive components, currentresearch has convincingly validated the pharmacological action of bael.

Alkaloids, cardiac glycosides, saponins, steroids, coumarins, terpenoids, phenylpropanoids, tannins, polysaccharides, and flavonoids are among the significant phytochemicals isolated from different parts of the plant. Studies have shown that bael has anti-oxidant and anti-microbial properties that help prevent gastrointestinal troubles and various cardiac ailments. Bael also reveals activities that are hepatoprotective, radioprotective, anti-diabetic, and wound-healing.
