Asthma is a chronic lung disease characterized by episodes of acute brancho constriction causing shortness of breath, cough, chest tightness, wheezing and rapid respirations, which is influenced by multiple genetic developmental and environmental factor, that affect over 300 million people around the world and one in four urban children. Alternative approaches to asthma management include different systems of medicine like Ayurveda, Homeopathy and Naturopathy. Asthma is a dangerous disease of lungs, which was known to mankind from the time of Hippocrates, but its peculiar features identified it. Hippocrates was the first to name this disease as ‘panting’ which means breathlessness1. Later on many Unani scholars keenly studied about Asthma and mentioned it in their books.

Asthma is disease of the human respiratory system in which the airways constrict and become narrow, often in response to a “trigger” such as exposure to an allergen, cold air, exercise or emotional stress. Due to rapid industrialization and urbanization, asthma prevalence is predicted to increase more rapidly in the coming years. Despite the availability of a wide range of drugs for the treatment of asthma, the relief offered by them is mainly symptomatic and short lived. Moreover the side effects of these drugs are also quite disturbing. Medicinal plants have been known for millennia and are highly esteemed all over the world as a rich source of therapeutic agents for the prevention of diseases and ailments. The importance of herbal medicine in the treatment of asthma is indisputable.
