	Cure for Chronic Asthma Respiratory problems such as asthma are on the rise in many cities due to the dangerous levels of pollution that are prevalent in such areas. Unfortunately, although allopathic medication does have a treatment for acute asthma attacks; it does not provide us with a long term cure for this disease. This lack of a long term treatment for asthma has forced scientists and researchers to look towards alternative forms of medication for the treatment of asthma. Ayurveda, the traditional system of medicine of India, lists four commonly occurring plants that can be used for treating asthma and other respiratory ailments. These plants are Shirish (Albizzia lebeck), Kantakari (Solanum canthcarpum), Mulethi (Glycyrrhiza glabra), and Vasica (Adhatoda vasica). The bark of the Shirish plant has been traditionally used to cure respiratory ailments. The dried root of the Kantakari is used for treating asthma and cough. The root of the Mulethi is another effective treatment for respiratory disorders. In addition, it is also reputed to be useful for treating patients with reduced adrenocortical function. The leaves of the Vasica plant are used to treat bronchial asthma. Intensive research is being carried out by the Indian Council of Medical Research to research and document the effectiveness of these plants in treating respiratory ailments. Experiments are being carried out using double blind controlled trials and the results up to now are proving to be very successful. However, there is still a long way to go until these medicinal plants are used for the treatment of asthma. Once the studies have been completed, it will be necessary to synthesize the extract of these plants in to the form of medication that can easily be dispensed at hospitals, nursing homes, and pharmacies.
