Abstract
The human respiratory system consists of the nose, trachea and lungs, which
accurately shows the harmony and the greatness of the Creator in the place where the
process sniffling and exhale, a process of exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide, which are
critical to the performance of vital activities that are within the cells, but may suffer damage
as a result of the entry of some microorganisms in the air, through a process of breathing
through the nose and cause serious diseases in humans, is highlighted here by the disease
caused by Aspergillus fungus and Aspergillus niger, which grows in the bronchus and there
are cases of Arashaship Aldkhanae caused by the fungus A.fumigatus invasive lung cavities
Kherajip. From this point of view and return to the Prophet, which Alttabb medicine Oorth
us human, our Master the Prophet Muhammad e, which has shown us on the medication
Costus speciosus of India (lute), especially in the treatment of respiratory diseases and it

has been the goal of this research to identify the effectiveness of the Costus speciosus on
some of the Indian microorganisms that infect the respiratory tract, including fungi and
A.niger, A.fumigatus and Candida albicans yeast has demonstrated the effectiveness of
microorganisms, where the former showed the sensitivity of the search results against the
various concentrations of the Costus speciosus.
