Bronchial Asthma requires prolonged treatment. Approximately half of all attacks are triggered by allergies to such substances as dust. Smoke, pollen, feathers, pet hair, insects, mold spores and a variety of foods and medications. Modern medicines prescribed to treat bronchial asthma, such as salbutamol, theophyline etc., have sever adverse side effects like tremor, tachycardia, loss of appetite etc. when taken by patients over a long period. It is the desire of every Asthmatic, all over the world for a safer alternative to these modern drugs.

Indian System of Medicine has outlined the use of several herbs for the treatment of Bronchial Asthma. However, these herbs have not been validated for their efficacy through a rigorous scientific validation study, Dalmia Centre for Research & Development (DCRD) ,after many years of extensive research developed a herbal medicine comprising of 15 herbs called ASTHA-15 from the important herbs mentioned in the Indian System of Medicine. Unlike a number of companies in India who sell herbal drugs without proper safety and clinical studies, DCRD put through ASTHA-15 through a randomized double blind, placebo controlled study on patients under the watchful eyes of internationally recognized respiratory physicians who followed a peer reviewed ethically approved clinical protocol to asses the efficacy of ASTHA-15 in comparison to the modern medicine. In the randomized double blind placebo controlled study the patients were randomly assigned to a placebo or a drug treatment with either ASTHA-15 or the modern allopathic drug. During the study the physician is unaware if his patient is taking a placebo or a drug.
