Inula racemose Hook.f. is one of the important medicinal plants used in Indian Ayurvedic medicine, Chinese Traditional Medicine(CTM), Bhutanese Sowa Rigpa Medicine (BSM), and European Homeopathy. The extract of Inula racemose is used against cough, dyspnoea, asthma, tuberculosis, pains, acute enteritis, dysentery, and as an expectorant. It is also prepared with other plant extracts for treating angina, hyperlipidaemia, hepatic ischaemia and ischaemic heart diseases. Since this plant is used in many cultures or traditional medicines for treating various ailments, it bears significant economic, commercial, and conservation values. This chapter discusses the distribution, taxonomy, ethnobotany, pharmacognosy, phytochemistry, pharmacology, and the trade and industry of Inula racemosa.
