Abstract

Herbal medicines have been used for centuries to treat a variety of ailments. However, their efficacy can be limited by their poor bio-availability and solubility. Nano-technology offers a promising new approach to improving the delivery of herbal medicines. Nanoparticles can be used to encapsulate herbal ingredients, making them more soluble and bio-available. This can lead to improved therapeutic efficacy and reduced side effects. There are a number of different types of nanoparticles that can be used to deliver herbal medicines. Some of the most promising include liposomes, micelles, and nanoparticles made from bio-degradable polymers. These nanoparticles can be tailored to target specific tissues or cells, which can further improve the efficacy of herbal medicines.
