Abstract

Worldwide, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, lung cancer, and cystic fibrosis are some of the top causes of death and morbidity. As a result, these illnesses place a significant burden on healthcare systems, economies, and societies in many nations. Chronic respiratory illnesses impact the respiratory airways, lung parenchyma, and pulmonary vasculature, among other parts of the respiratory system. Respiratory disorders are a fairly frequent diagnosis in children, adolescents, and adults in the era of air pollution. Both upper and lower respiratory system disorders can have a significant negative impact on overall health as well as economic and psychological burdens. Because they are eco-friendly and have few side effects, plant-based solutions are receiving a lot of attention as a means of treating and preventing health issues. It is believed that active plant contact and exposure to nature are good for both physical and mental health. The immunological and cardiovascular systems are the main targets of plant-based medications. The medicinal properties of both terrestrial and marine botanicals are an effective control of a variety of disorders. Biologically active compounds with distinct values may be isolated from both. Therefore, the main aim of this chapter is to know the potential of pulmonary diseases and to provide the knowledge of plant therapy or some medicinal herbs for curing.
