Abstract

Bronchial asthma is characterized by hyper responsiveness of tracheobronchial smooth muscle to variety of
stimuli resulting in narrowing of air tubes often accompanied by increased secretion , mucosal edema and
mucus plugging. Extrinsic asthma is mostly episodic less prone to status asthmaticus. Intrinsic asthma tends to
be perennial status asthmaticus is more common. The knowledge of herbal plant parts is more effective and
useful in the treatment of many diseases including bronchial asthma.Among many respiratory diseases

Andrographis paniculata, Astercantha longifolia, Leaf of “parsley, Rumex vesicarius and Rauvolfia serpentina
are some of the important plants which are discussed and studied in this short review. This review summarises
