Overview

This book comprehensively explores the intersection between traditional herbal medicine and cutting-edge nanotechnology. The chapters introduce modern techniques used in herbal extraction and analysis. The principles of drug discovery from plants are discussed, with a focus on the identification and development of bioactive compounds that have therapeutic potential. It discusses the pharmacological properties, biotechnological approaches in drug development, and challenges in the formulation and standardization of herbal medicines. Emerging trends and applications of nanotechnology in herbal pharmacotherapy, such as nanoparticle synthesis, enhanced bioavailability using nanocarriers, safety assessments, novel and targeted delivery systems, and regulatory considerations, are thoroughly discussed. Additionally, it includes a comparative analysis of traditional and nano-formulated approaches and their implementation in clinical settings. Towards the end, the book reviews the regulatory considerations for herbal products and future perspectives in herbal pharmacopeia. This book is intended for researchers, clinicians, and professionals in herbal medicine, pharmacology, and nanotechnology.
