may treat illnesses from the ground up. The current study provides a comprehensive profile of
Aegle marmelos, a member of the Rutaceae family that is referred to as a bael in India. The
phytochemistry and pharmacological activities of Aegle marmelos are covered in detail in this
review. Many chemical groups' worth of biologically active substances, including alkaloids,
terpenoids, vitamins, coumarins, tannins, carbohydrates, flavonoids, fatty acids, and essential
oils, have been isolated from different portions of Aegle marmelos. Diabetes, cholesterol,
peptic ulcers, inflammation, dysentery, diarrhoea, antibacterial, cardioprotective, antifungal,
radioprotective, hepatoprotective, antipyretic, anticancer, wound healing, analgesic, respiratory
infections, constipation, antioxidant, and many other conditions have great potential to be cured
by this plant. Therefore, for scholars who are prepared to start looking into Aegle marmelos
further, this review might be a useful resource.
