Bilva pathra - Bael

🌿Plant Care Guide

📝 Description

Bilva Patre, also known as Bael leaves or Aegle marmelos leaves, comes from the sacred Bael tree, highly revered in Indian tradition. These leaves are easily recognized by their unique trifoliate structure, where three leaflets are joined together on a single stalk. They have a smooth texture, a refreshing herbal aroma, and are bright to dark green in colour. In Ayurveda, Bilva leaves are valued for their cooling, anti-inflammatory, and detoxifying properties. The plant itself is hardy, drought-tolerant, and grows well in warm climates. Bilva Patre holds special spiritual significance and is commonly used in pooja—especially in the worship of Lord Shiva, symbolizing purity and devotion.
