ABSTRACT:
Aegle marmelos (Bael) is a versatile tree species with a rich history in traditional medicine and cultural practices. It's adaptable to diverse environments and offers nutritional, livelihood, and health security benefits. Bael has medicinal properties, nutritional value, and industrial applications in pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics and functional foods. Toxicity studies show it's relatively safe for consumption and use in traditional medicine. The future scope of Bael is promising with opportunities for improvement through advanced technologies, horticultural interventions and export market focus. Potential areas for development include COVID-19 treatment, natural remedies, and traditional medicine. With further research and development Bael can improve farmers livelihoods and contribute to community well-being, particularly in arid regions
