Restrictive lung diseases (Respiratory Disease) – Treatments In herbal medicine perspective

Respiratory Disease is defined as medical conditions, affected the breathing organ and tissues including Inflammatory lung disease, Obstructive lung diseasesRestrictive lung diseases, Respiratory tract infections, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, the nerves and  muscles breathing , etc,.
Restrictive lung diseases or restrictive ventilatory defects
Restrictive lung disease is a condition marked most obviously by a reduction in total lung capacity. A restrictive ventilatory defect may be caused by a pulmonary deficit, such as pulmonary fibrosis (abnormally stiff, non-compliant lungs), or by non-pulmonary deficits, including respiratory muscle weakness, paralysis, and deformity or rigidity of the chest wall(1).

F.2. In herbal medicine perspective
The aim od herbal medicine is to prevent lung infections and relieve its symptoms. Herbs support the lungs, strengthen the immune system and repair tissues, include
1. Herbs support the lungs
In the study of the effect of astragalus membranceus(fisch) bge, codonpsis pilosula and glycyrrhiza uralensis fisch on airway responsiveness, found that after 28 asthmatic patients received the treatment of those herbs, the results showed that FVC value increased obviously (t = 2.217, P < 0.05) and the value of FEV1 and PEF was all higher compared with before treatment of the herbs (P < 0.01)(33).
2. Herbs enhance immunity 
In the study of the effect of Chinese herbs (Astragalus radix and Ganoderma lucidum) on immune response of carp in fish fed diets containing Astragalus (0.5%), Ganoderma (0.5%) and combination of two herbs (Astragalus 0.5% and Ganoderma 0.5%) for 5 weeks, showed that  feeding non-vaccinated and vaccinated carp with combination of Astragalus and Ganoderma stimulated respiratory burst activity, phagocytosis of phagocytic cells in blood and lysozyme and circulatory antibody titres in plasma in vaccinated carp. Fish challenged with A. hydrophila had variable survival. The best survival (60%) was in vaccinated group fed with both herbs, while almost 90% of control fish (negative control) and 60% of fish vaccinated only (positive control) died(34).
3. Herbs repair tissues
According to the study by Ohio State University’s Heart and Lung Research Institute, Grape-seed extractseemed to aid wound healing in two ways: It helped the body make more of a compound used to regenerate damaged blood vessels, and it also increased the amount of free radicals in the wound site. Free radicals help clear potentially pathogenic bacteria from a wound(35).
