Adhatoda vasica commonly known as Vasaka is indigenous to India, where it is found in sub-Himalayan track. It has been used for the treatment of various diseases and disorders, particularly for the respiratory tract ailments. In Ayurveda, the juice expressed from the leaves and the decoction of the leaves and roots are useful in asthma, bronchitis, and other chronic coughs. Dried leaves are used in dhoomapana (smoking) in the treatment of bronchial asthma.

Preclinical studies have shown that the alkaloids from Adhatoda vasica showed pronounced protection against allergen-induced bronchial obstruction in guinea pigs. Pharmacological effects of plant extracts in humans need to be further studied.
