| dc.description.abstract | Asthma is considered to be the most prevalent chronic lung disease, with over 300 million asthmatics around the world including 1.5 million from Algeria. Bronchodilators and glucocorticoids are the main drugs used to alleviate and treat asthma as well as control exacerbations. However, side effects, costs and ineffectiveness (severe asthma) negatively impact the healthcare systems. As a consequence, looking for an alternative treatment has attracted more attention and led to an interest in herbal medicine. The current work attempts to document and review the therapeutic potential of Artemisia herba alba in the treatment of asthma by searching different databases including PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and ResearchGate with the following key words: Artemisia herba alba, asthma, respiratory diseases, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-asthmatic activities. An analysis of the search data highlighted multiple interesting biomolecules with anti- inflammatory and anti-asthmatic activities that were found in noticeable levels in A. herba alba. Our findings suggest that Artemisia herba alba, a source of bioactive molecules, could be a potential plant-based treatment in asthma. Further experimental investigations are needed to assess its effectiveness in the treatment of asthma. | en |
