Abstract

Asafoetida, also known as Hing, is a resinous gum derived from the roots of Ferula species, specifically Ferula asafetida. From ancient times, it has been employed both in the kitchen as a seasoning and in the practice of traditional medicine. In terms of pharmacognosy, asafoetida is comprised of a number of active chemicals, the most notable of which are coumarins, volatile oils (17%), and ferulic acid (60%). Ferulic acid and coumarins (40%) are two of the components that contribute to the medicinal value of this plant. The volatile oils are responsible for the strong odour and flavour of this plant. It is used for a variety of applications in the medical field. It is not only used as spices and condiments for the goal of imparting taste in curries, but it is also utilised in the treatment of gastrointestinal tract diseases, asthma, whooping cough, hypertension, and a variety of other conditions. The herb has been used to extract a variety of phytochemical components, including sesquiterpene coumarins, coumarins, diterpene coumarins, and chemicals containing sulphur. This manuscript provides a synopsis of the facts concerning the pharmacological activities and bioactive components of Ferula asafetida.
