The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of chemical reaction on the peristaltic flow of MHD electrically conducting fluid in an asymmetric porous channel. The blood is considered as an incompressible electrically conducting fluid. The assumption of low Reynolds number and long wave length approximations are used. Expressions for axial velocity, temperature and concentration distribution are obtained analytically by solving the governing equations of the flow. The obtained results are displayed and discussed in detail with the help of graphs for the variation of different emerging flow parameters.
