ABSTRACT

Herbal medicines have been used extensively since ancient times in almost every region of the world and are regarded by patients and doctors as having the best therapeutic value or effect because they have very few or lesser side effects than synthetic medications. In order to deliver the components over time, avoid the need for repeated dose administration, and improve patient compliance, phytotherapeutics requires some scientific approaches. The current article discusses the various kinds of nanoparticles, nano drug delivery methods, agricultural applications, advantages, properties, disadvantages, and methods of preparing nano herbal medicines. Nanoparticle applications in a variety of fields, including cosmetics, plant protection, crop enhancement, wastewater treatment, and treatment of several chronic diseases, are also discussed. The review utilizes papers obtained from various databases like Google scholar, PubMed, Science Direct and the articles from 1976 to 2022 are incorporated. The establishment of Novel or Newer Drug Delivery Systems could be used to obtain all of the herbal constituents (NDDSs). The novel or newer drug delivery system not only aids in reducing the number of times the drug must be administered to overcome non-compliance, but also significantly boosts therapeutic value by boosting bioavailability and limiting toxicity. Herbal nanoscale drug delivery systems or plant derived medication has a promising future in overcoming problems and enhancing activities associated with plant derived medicines. As a result, nano-formulations are frequently being used for more precise and controlled drug delivery to target tissues. Nanostructured systems can enhance the effects of plant extracts, lowering dosage requirements, minimising side effects, and increasing their activity.
