Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
1.In this era of air pollution even healthy people experience health impacts including respiratory irritation or breathing difficulties. The risk do adverse effects depends on health status, the pollutant type, and concentration and length of exposure to polluted air.  
2. It contains essential oil thymol which has antispasmodic activity on smooth muscles of trachea by acting on beta receptores of bronchus .It also has  broncholytic effect and increases mucociliary action .   
3. PEFR is a reliable indicator of lung function . PEFR depends on the force of contraction of expiratory muscles, elastic recoil of lungs and resistance of bronchial tree. Reduction in PEFR values may indicate the risk of obstructive airway disease in the occupational heath workers like Traffic Policemen who work in bus traffic signal areas for years together and are exposed to air pollutants everyday.
4. Therefore this study will assess effect of ajmoda dhumapana on air pollution related respiratory ailments using peak expiratory flow rate which is reliable indicator of lung function.
