Respiratory disorders damage the organs and tissues of the respiratory system, making it harder for organisms to exchange gases. These ailments may be caused by a variety of factors, including infection and air pollution. As the world advances as a consequence of countless industrial breakthroughs, air contaminants have increased, resulting in a rise in the number of illnesses communicated via the air. Although there are medications available to treat these conditions, there are many plants that naturally contain components that may be used to treat them. The purpose of this research is to understand more about the many plants that are utilized to treat respiratory issues across the globe. A comprehensive literature search was undertaken utilizing many databases to support this investigation. The data was analyzed, and the plants were classified based on the sorts of respiratory ailments for which they are used. According to the study’s results, there are a variety of medicinal and traditional plants that may be used to treat almost every respiratory ailment. As a consequence, there may be cheaper alternatives to the market’s often-expensive synthetic medications. We may be able to employ traditional herbal medicine to replace synthetic treatments, which will help to lessen the side effects that are often associated with commercial pharmaceuticals.
