Current synthetic drugs used in pharmacotherapy of asthma are unable to act at all the stages and targets of asthma. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways which caused by reversible airflow obstruction and bronchospasm. Asthmatic patients are suffered from wheezing, coughing, chest tightness and trouble breathing. In the present article, medicinal plants with their active chemical constituent and possible mechanism of action. This paper highlights some herbs have shown interesting results in various target specific biological activities such as bronchodilation, mast cell stabilization, anti-anaphylactic, anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic, anti-allergic, immunomodulatory and inhibition of mediators such as leukotrienes, lipoxygenase, cyclooxygenase, platelet activating, phosphodiesterase and cytokine, in the treatment of asthma. Synthetic drugs used for the treatment of asthma and allergy in India but more side effects are reported. Albuterol (ProAir HFA, Ventolin HFA, others) and levalbuterol are the synthetic drugs used for the treatment of asthma. The most common side effects of inhaled preventer medication (inhaled corticosteroids) are a hoarse voice, sore mouth and throat, and fungal infections of the throat. To overcome this side effects used herbal alternatives employed in asthma are proven to provide symptomatic relief and assist in the inhibition of disease progression also.
