Medicinal Plants for Lung Diseases

Abstract

Lung cancer is a chronic disease and speaks to one of the greatest health care issues for mankind. It is an illness with a high morbidity and high demise rates. Subsequently, it is regularly connected with a plenty of affliction and general abatement in the quality of life. Just chemotherapy and radiation therapies are now and again effective and in much occasions harmful and deadly. Alternative and less toxic medicine is very considerably essential to this ailment. The goal of this study is to review the medicinal plants having antitumor activity for the management of lung cancer. Medicinal plants are presently standing out as likely wellsprings of anticancer specialists and are broadly utilized because of accessibility of the materials, generally modest, little, or no side effects, wide pertinence, and helpful adequacy which thus have quickened the scientific exploration. The study was directed with lung cancer cell line (Human), on humans and animals, and lung carcinoma (Lewis) was the maximum utilized exploratory model. In this review we have summarized some medicinal plants keep being an abundant wellspring of herbal remedies or bioactive composites against Lung cancer.
