'''''Aegle marmelos''''' (commonly known as '''bael''', '''bilva''', or '''stone apple''') is a plant species in the family [[Rutaceae]].

'''''Aegle marmelos''''' (commonly known as '''bael''', '''bilva''', or '''stone apple''') is a plant species in the family Rutaceae. ''Aegle marmelos'' is a medium-sized, slow-growing, deciduous spiny tree native to dry tropical and subtropical forests of the Indian subcontinent, Myanmar, and Thailand.<ref name="Sharma2011" /> It reaches heights of 8–15 meters and exhibits trifoliate, alternate leaves traditionally associated with religious symbolism in South Asia. The fruit is a globose or pyriform berry with a hard, woody outer shell (5–15 cm diameter) containing aromatic, mucilaginous orange pulp embedded with numerous woolly seeds. All morphological parts—including the unripe fruit, ripe fruit, root bark, leaves, and stem—possess distinct therapeutic profiles in classical Indian medicine.

== Ayurvedic energetics and pharmacodynamics ==

In classical Ayurvedic pharmacology (''Dravyaguna''), ''Bilva'' presents a distinct dual-action profile depending on fruit maturity. Unripe fruit (''Ama Bilva'') is primary for intestinal and digestive pathology, whereas ripe fruit (''Pakva Bilva'') acts as a laxative but is heavier to digest. Leaves (''Bilva Patra'') and roots (''Bilva Mula'', a constituent of ''[[Dashamula]]'') possess potent ''Vata-Kapha'' pacifying properties.
