Abstract
In India, in ancient times, people used plant materials to make drug polyherbal formulations. Herbal drugs have enormous therapeutic potential which can be explored through various beneficial drug delivery systems and novel drug delivery systems. Great advancement has been made in the uses of plant therapeutics on the development of novel herbal formulations like polymeric nanoparticles, nanocapsules, liposomes, phytosomes, nanoemulsions, microsphere, transferosomes, and ethosomes. These formulations have reported having various advantages over the traditional formulations such as improved solubility and bioavailability, reduced toxicity, controlled drug delivery, protections of plant actives from degradation. Also, having the drug targeting properties with improved selectivity, drug delivery, and effectiveness with dose reduction not only increases the safety but also patient compliance.
