ABSTRACT

India has been known to have rich diversity of plants since time immemorial. There were various ailments cured with the help of plants. This review has been prepared keeping in mind respiratory disease i.e. asthma, it is characterized by reversible airway obstruction, airway hyper responsiveness and airway inflammation.
