Abstract

Bronchitis is a respiratory disease in which the mucous membrane in the lungs and the bronchial passages become inflamed and as the irritated membrane swells and grows thicker, it narrows or shuts off the tiny airways in the lungs, resulting in cough spells which may be accompanied by phlegm and breathlessness.

The pooled prevalence of chronic bronchitis across the twelve centers surveyed by INSEARCH was found 3.49% (4.07% in rural and 2.50% in urban areas), and is also known to be the most common respiratory disorder resulting from various infections, irritants or pollutants.

Haridra is a known kaphaghana, possessing given properties as per Ayurveda, i.e Kushthaghna, Pramehahar, Krimighna, Raktadoshanashak, Shothahar, Apachihar, Kamala, Medhya, lekhana, Vranaropan, Panduhar, Pinasahar, Aruchihar, Twakdoshahar, Varnya, Balya, Kandughna and Vishaghna And according to modern are anticancer activity, anti-inflammatory activity, antihepatotoxic activity, anti-oxidant activity, antidepressant activity, inhibition of aggregation of human blood platelets, topoisomerase i and ii enzyme inhibition activity, antifungal activity and mosquitocidal activity, neuroprotective activity, hypoglycemic activity, hypolipidaemic activity, antifungal activity, wound healing activity, anti allergic and anti histamine activity and complexion promoting activity and thereby this study was done to study its properties and mechanism of action in bronchitis.
