ABSTRACT
A respiratory disease called cough raises the risk of recidivism. Despite the development of anti-tussive
drugs, the condition continues to represent a significant risk to health. The most common anti-tussive
medications have side effects that limit the effectiveness of treatment, including increased sputum viscosity,
depression of the respiratory centre, decreased bronchial secretion and inhibition of ciliary activity,
hypotension, decreased expectoration, and constipation. People now trust herbs since they have fewer
adverse effects. This document includes 43 herbs that have anti-tussive properties and are all utilized as
traditional medicines. Here, their family is mentioned, and it is also covered below which parts have anti-
tussive properties.
