ABSTRACT

In India, Ayurveda is one of the oldest and most widely used medical systems. It is the goal of Ayurveda to keep people healthy and happy for as long as possible. Ayurveda emphasizes the use of natural components to treat the underlying cause of illness while also promoting a healthy way of life to avoid recurrence. More than 80% of the world's population still uses conventional medications for their health care, according to the WHO. Known as one of the world's biodiversity hotspots, the subcontinent of India has over 45,000 plant species. An estimated 7,500 medicinal plants have been identified in India, with the local populations relying on those to treat a wide range of ailments. Single or many herbs (polyherbal) are utilized for therapy in Ayurveda. In order to obtain the desired therapeutic effects, the active phytochemical elements of individual plants do not enough. Therapeutic effects and toxicity are reduced when herbs are combined at a certain ratio. Polyherbal and its clinical importance are the topics of this study. The present article focuses on the development of polyherbal formulations for treating asthma and associated respiratory disorders. This study on polyherbal formulations will positively open avenues towards alternative treatment options for respiratory diseases.
