What is Bel fruit in English, and what are its health benefits? - #12566
I have recently started reading about Ayurvedic herbs and fruits, and I want to know what Bel fruit in English is called. Some people say it is "Wood Apple," while others refer to it as "Bael Fruit." Which one is the correct name? Apart from just knowing Bel fruit in English, I also want to understand its health benefits. I have heard that it is excellent for digestion, especially for constipation and acidity. But what is the best way to consume it? Should it be taken as juice, powder, or eaten raw for maximum benefits? Another thing—does Bel fruit help in boosting immunity? Some sources say it has cooling properties and is great for summer. But can it be consumed daily? Also, is it safe for diabetic patients? If anyone has been consuming Bel fruit regularly, please share your experience. What is the best way to take it? Is there any specific time when it should be consumed? Also, are there any side effects of taking it in excess?
