Bael contains chemicals called tannins, which help treat diarrhea by reducing swelling (inflammation).
* Diarrhea : Unripe bael fruit may help treat diarrhea, according to a study published in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine in 2009. In laboratory experiments, the study's authors observed that extracts of unripe bael fruit possess antibacterial properties that may help fight diarrhea caused by bacterial infection.
* [[Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)]] : Unripe [[bael]] fruit may help protect against inflammatory bowel disease (a class of conditions that includes Crohn's disease and colitis), suggests a study published in the Indian Journal of Pharmacology in 2012. For the study, a group of rats with colitis were treated with extract of unripe bael fruit. Results revealed that the extract may help to reduce intestinal inflammation, a key marker of inflammatory bowel disease.
* Diabetes : Several preliminary studies indicate that bael fruit may aid in diabetes management. In a study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology in 2003, for instance, tests on diabetic rats demonstrated that bael fruit may help treat diabetes by lowering blood sugar levels.
* [[Celiac Disease]] : The procedure is very simple. Break open the outer shell of the fruit. Remove the seeds, add honey or powdered jiggery.
