Abstract
Inhalation of aerosols, fumes and vapours from plants and aromatic mixtures, often in a liquid form, have been known for a long time. One of the earliest documented use of aerosols for inhalation purpose in asthma therapy is found in the Ayurvedic literature referenced in literature in the 17th century (Gandevia, 1975). The literature refers to the smoking of a preparation from a plant of the Datura family. Gandevia noted that it has been known in Europe, from the work done by Dr. Sims in UK, since the beginning of the 19th century (Sims, 1812).
