Rating (out of 5): 1

Indian bael (Aegle marmelos) is a plant native to India and widely used in Ayurvedic and traditional medicine. While bael is primarily known for its applications in digestive health, particularly for diarrhea and dysentery, its use in supporting the bladder or urinary system is less prominent. Traditional Ayurvedic texts occasionally mention bael as a "mutrala" (diuretic), suggesting it may promote urine flow and thus indirectly support bladder health. Some formulations include bael as part of mixtures for general urinary tract health, but it is not a primary or well-documented remedy for specific bladder disorders like urinary tract infections or overactive bladder.

Scientific studies focusing specifically on bael’s effects on the bladder or urinary system are sparse. Most available research centers on its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, with limited direct evidence for bladder support. As such, the use of Indian bael for the bladder is mainly rooted in traditional practices rather than robust scientific validation. The evidence supporting its use for this body system is therefore rated low.
