Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of respiratory airway. The chronic inflammation is associated with airway hyperresponsiveness that leads to recurrent episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and coughing, particularly at night and in morning. 300 million people are affected with asthma worldwide which is increasing 50%every decade.
