Asthma, Anti-asthma, Bronchoconstriction, Herbal Plants, PhytomedicineAbstract
Asthma is one of the chronic respiratory disorder whose incidence and intensity is rising day by day. Globally, this devastating disease affects almost 300 million people. Since ancient times, various plants had already been identified as traditionally and utilized by medical practices for managing asthma in many countries. This goal of the article is to investigate and consolidate information on the ethnomedical applications, phytochemistry, and preparation techniques of frequently used medicinal herbs to treat asthma. With soaring efficiency, the search for new, high-value molecules continue, and there are still many medications with side effects that need to be identified. Phenolics, sterols, and terpenoids, which are a key class of phytoconstituents against asthma are only a few examples of the active compounds against asthma that may be found in medicinal plants. It is advised that further research is required to identify adverse effects, effectiveness, and safety, as well as other factors of anti-asthmatic herbs and standardize herbal treatments.
