Peepal is a storehouse of medicinal value and is used to treat many ailments and diseases, ranging from asthma and skin diseases, to kidney and various blood-related problems. This tree is revered across the Indian subcontinent, especially among Hindus, Jains, and Buddhists, as the Tree of Life , as a symbol of the Universe's never-ending expanse. Even in scientific terms, the Peepal is a real “Tree of Life.” It releases oxygen even at night, unlike other trees.
