Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Bael (Aegle marmelos), also known as Bengal quince, has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda and Unani. In these traditions, Bael fruit and leaves have been employed for a variety of ailments, including colds and fevers. The rationale for its use in colds often centers on its purported ability to reduce "pitta" (heat) in the body, provide cooling effects, and help manage mild infections or inflammatory conditions. Preparations like decoctions or infusions of Bael leaves are sometimes administered to alleviate feverish conditions and respiratory discomfort. However, there is minimal direct scientific evidence specifically validating Bael's effectiveness for treating colds with fever. A few laboratory studies indicate the plant has general antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, but these are not directly linked to clinical outcomes for respiratory infections or fever in humans. No robust clinical trials or systematic reviews specifically support Bael for colds with fever. Thus, while the use of Bael for this purpose is rooted in traditional practices, modern scientific evidence remains limited, and its effectiveness for this particular indication has not been conclusively established.
