Synopsis

Rating (out of 5): 2

Bael (Aegle marmelos) is a fruit-bearing tree widely used in traditional Indian medicine, particularly within Ayurveda. Its fruit, roots, and leaves have been ascribed therapeutic properties for a range of ailments, including gastrointestinal issues, diabetes, and urinary conditions. The use of Bael specifically for managing blood in urine (hematuria) is rooted primarily in traditional practices. Ayurvedic texts describe Bael as having cooling, astringent, and anti-inflammatory effects, which are thought to be beneficial for urinary tract health and to help reduce bleeding. Traditional preparations might involve Bael fruit pulp or decoctions from leaves and roots for this purpose. However, scientific validation for these claims is limited. While some preliminary studies suggest Bael possesses anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant activities, there is a lack of direct clinical or laboratory evidence supporting its efficacy for hematuria specifically. No high-quality human studies have evaluated Bael for blood in urine, and most supporting data are anecdotal or based on traditional use rather than controlled research. Therefore, while Bael is commonly recommended in traditional systems for urinary issues, including blood in urine, the scientific evidence for this specific use remains weak, and its role is primarily historical and cultural.
