  • The Bel tree (Aegle marmelos), also known as the wood apple or bael, is a deciduous tree native to India and Southeast Asia. Its round, hard-shelled fruits are widely valued in Ayurvedic and traditional medicine for their health benefits, particularly in treating digestive disorders and boosting immunity. The tree's fruits, leaves, and bark are also spiritually significant in Hinduism, often used in religious offerings. Bel trees are drought-resistant, thriving in dry climates, and are cultivated both for their medicinal properties and cultural importance.
