<![CDATA[Abstrak           Asma merupakan gangguan inflamasi kronis pada saluran pernafasan ditandai episode berulang mengi, sesak nafas, sesak dada, dan batuk. Berbagai sel inflamasi berperan terutama sel mast, eosinofil, sel limfosit T, makrofag, neutrofil dan sel epitel. Masyarakat di Indonesia turun temurun secara tradisional menggunakan bahan alam dalam mengatasi berbagai penyakit. Tanaman dapat menghasilkan metabolit sekunder yang memiliki banyak khasiat dalam mengatasi berbagai penyakit disebabkan adanya efek sinergisme antar senyawa metabolit sekunder dan polivalent activity, sehingga memungkinkan mengatasi berbagai penyakit. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, asma dapat diatasi dengan menggunakan bahan alam diantaranya Putri Malu (Mimosa pudica, Linn.), Kelor (Moringa oleifera), Jintan Hitam (Nigella sativa L.), Rumput Fatimah (Labisia pumila), Ciplukan (Physalis minima L), Senggugu (Clerodendrum serratumat), Jeringau (Acorus gramineus), dan Sirih (Piper betle Linn.). Kata Kunci: Tanaman, Anti-Asma AbstractAsthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways characterized by recurrent episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and coughing. Various inflammatory cells play a role, especially mast cells, eosinophils, T lymphocytes, macrophages, neutrophils and epithelial cells. Indonesia people used natural materials to overcome various diseases. Plants can produce secondary metabolites that have many benefits in addressing a variety of diseases caused by the synergism between the effects of secondary metabolites and polivalent activity, making it possible to overcome various diseases. Based on this, asthma can be overcome by using natural medicines including Putri Malu (Mimosa pudica, Linn.), Kelor (Moringa oleifera), Jintan Hitam (Nigella sativa L.), Rumput Fatimah (Labisia pumila), Ciplukan (Physalis minima L), Senggugu (Clerodendrum serratumat), Jeringau (Acorus gramineus), Sirih (Piper betle Linn.)Keywords: Asthma, Plants]]>
