Abstract

Herbal medicines have been used widely around the world since ancient times. Phytotherapeutics requires a scientific approach to carry the components in a sustained manner to increase patient compliance and reduce drug administration frequency. Novel drug delivery systems (NDDS) such as polymeric nanoparticles, liposomes, phytosomes, microspheres, transferosomes, and ethosomes have made significant advances in plant therapeutics. Novel herbal formulations have been reported to have several advantages over traditional formulations, including improved solubility bioavailability, reduced toxicity, controlled drug delivery, and protection of plant actives from degradation. Nanosized drug delivery systems improve the activity of herbal medicines and overcome the problems associated with herbals.
