Catarrh is a condition that is carefully explained in Iranian traditional medicine. Medieval Iranian physicians used some medicinal plants in the treatment of the catarrh. Some of these substances are used in treatment today, although still more of these materials can be used in modern medicine. In this study we searched known sources of Iranian traditional medicine and collected the ideas of former great scholars and physicians about medicinal plants that are used for treatment of catarrh. Then we searched PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science databases and found 10 medicinal herbs that have the ability to treat catarrh. Plants discussed in this study are consistent with new research and can be used in modern treatments. According to rising bacterial resistance to antibiotics and complications of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drugs, it seems that the various components of the medicinal herbs can be beneficial in producing new drugs. Also it is hoped that more investigations on medicinal plants will be conducted in the future treatment of catarrh and other diseases related to it.
卡他是伊朗传统医学中详细解释的一种病症。中世纪的伊朗医生在治疗卡他时使用了一些药用植物。这些物质中的一些今天仍在使用,尽管在现代医学中还可以使用更多的这些材料。在这项研究中,我们搜索了伊朗传统医学的已知来源,并收集了前伟大学者和医生关于用于治疗卡他的药用植物的想法。然后,我们在 PubMed、Google Scholar、Scopus 和 Web of Science 数据库中进行了搜索,发现了 10 种具有治疗卡他能力的草药。本研究中讨论的植物与新研究一致,可用于现代治疗。由于细菌对抗生素的耐药性不断上升以及抗生素和抗炎药的并发症,药用植物的各种成分似乎对生产新药有益。此外,人们希望在未来对卡他和其他相关疾病的治疗中进行更多的药用植物研究。
