“This herbal medicine called ‘Z-Cough’ is the only medicine to help the treatment of asthma in children over seven years old,” said Abbas Zojaji, the managing director the technological company.
Noting that the herbal medicine has no side effects of chemical drugs, he said, “It helps treatment of asthma in children, improves lung function, reduces the number and severity of daily and nightly coughs, improves the shortness of breath, and strengthens the immune system.”
Iran ranks fourth in the world in the production of science in the field of traditional medicine.
In another development, a company in Iran succeeded in making herbal supplements to lower blood sugar and help the treatment of certain common diseases like diabetes.
“First, we started our work as a research team in the incubator center of Islamic Azad University’s Kahnouj branch with the idea of producing compressed herbal tablets used as a spice in the food industry,” Amin Ganjali, a PhD graduate in chemistry and the managing director of the technological ‘Arinashimi Gwashir’ company stationed at the incubator center for the development of new technologies in transformation industries, told ANA.
“During the pre-growth and research period, the company succeeded in making samples of herbal supplements to help treat certain common diseases like diabetes,” he added.
“Now we have offered a number of 100% herbal products, which we are going through the process of patenting and obtaining the necessary licenses from Iran’s Food and Drug Administration to present them to the consumer market,” Ganjali said.
