Cancer is a group of around 100 diseases that has been tormenting mankind since ancient time. Due to cancer, estimated 8.2 million people died globally in 2012, and the toll is expected to reach 13 million in 2030. Despite the improvement of conventional therapeutic modalities, the outcome of cancer patients has not improved significantly. So, alternative therapeutic modalities and new effective anticancer drugs are highly sought for. Different parts of plants and their extracts have been used to cure many diseases and relive from physical agony since ancient times. In the traditional system of medicine, herbal products have been used for treating different types of diseases and alignments globally. Active compounds from herbal medicine, such as curcumin, are found to be effective against cancer. Despite their excellent therapeutic ability, the potential of these herbal compounds or phytochemicals is limited due to their low water solubility and poor bioavailability.
