Abstract

Nanotechnology has instigated profound developments among herbal medicineregarding bioavailability, stability, and therapeutic efficacy. This review deals with nano-herbal formulations' preparation, applications, and therapeutic capabilities for medical problems and foods like food packaging and preservation. The formulations are developed using advanced nanotechnology techniques, such as solvent evaporation, nanoemulsion formation, and encapsulation. Phytosomes, liposomes, nanocapsules, and nanoemulsions have ensured that bioactive ingredients' stability has been secured, bioavailability and targeted administration have been improved, and negative side effects have been cut considerably. The ability of…
