Ferula asafoetida is herbaceous plant of the umbelliferae family. It is oleo gum resin obtained from the rhizome and root of plant. This spice is used as a digestive aid, in food as a condiment and in pickles. It is used in modern herbalism in the treatment of hysteria, some nervous conditions, bronchitis, asthma and whooping cough. It was at one time employed in the treatment of infantile pneumonia and flatulent colic. The gum resin is antispasmodic, carminative, expectorant, laxative, and sedative. The volatile oil in the gum is eliminated through the lungs, making this an excellent treatment for asthma. The odor of asafoetida is imparted to the breath, secretions, flatus, and gastric eructations. Its properties are antispasmodic, expectorant, stimulant, emmenagogue and vermifuge. Asafoetida has also been used as a sedative. It also thins the blood and lowers blood pressure. It is widely used in India in food and as a medicine in Indian systems of medicine like ayurveda. Asafoetida has been held in great esteem among indigenous medicines, particularly in Unani system from the earliest times.
阿魏是伞形科的一种草本植物。它是从该植物的根茎中获取的油胶树脂。这种香料用作助消化剂，在食品中用作调味品，也用于泡菜中。在现代草药学中，它用于治疗癔症、某些神经疾病、支气管炎、哮喘和百日咳。它曾一度用于治疗婴儿肺炎和肠胃气胀性绞痛。这种油胶树脂具有解痉、驱风、祛痰、轻泻和镇静作用。油胶中的挥发油通过肺部排出，使其成为治疗哮喘的理想药物。阿魏的气味会散发到呼出的气体、分泌物、肠胃气和胃嗳气中。其特性为解痉、祛痰、刺激、通经和驱虫。阿魏也一直被用作镇静剂。它还能稀释血液并降低血压。在印度，它广泛用于食品中，并作为印度传统医学如阿育吠陀医学中的药物。从很早的时候起，阿魏在本土医学中，尤其是在尤那尼医学体系中就备受推崇。
