Abstract
Herbal medicines have been widely used throughout history, and due to their decreased possibility of adverse effects when compared to modern drugs, both medical professionals and patients have recognized their superior therapeutic efficacy. A systematic strategy for delivering the elements over time is necessary for phytotherapeutics in order to maximizeadherence of patients and prevent repetitive administration. This might be accomplished by creating novel drug delivery systems (NDDSs) for herbal components. Through lowering toxicity and raising bioavailability, NDDSs contribute to increasing therapeutic efficacy by reducing the need for successive administrations to address non-compliance. Nanosized herbal medication delivery techniques may one day enhance performance and address problems with plant-based medicines. To fight other chronic illnesses, such as diabetes, cancer, and others, the conventional medical system must deploy nanocarriers as an NDDS. The article covers the numerous nano herbal drugs and nano herbal cosmetics currently available on the market, as well as the characteristics, benefits, and drawbacks of nano drug delivery systems.
