Bel is sweet, light, digestive, a
kindler of gastric fire and slightly constipating. It destroys intestinal
worms, stops nausea, vomitting and relieves cramps of stomach-muscles. In
fact, the Ayurveda considers it a remedy for the three systemic disturbances
viz. cough, wind and bile.
The pulp of the ripe bel may be
taken directly or it may be taken in its juice-form. The medicinal value of bel
is principally dependent upon the tannin it contains. In digestive disorders
and chronic dysentery, bel is regarded as an invaluable remedy. As a remedy for
bowel complaints, diarrhoea and chronic dysentery, the juice of bel
fruit has no equal.
Bel fruit is nutritious and a blood-purifier. 50 mg. of the
juice of bel fruit mixed with warm water and sugar, two-three times a day helps
to eradicate blood-impurities.
