Abstract

Abstract: Medicinal and culinary uses of plants date back centuries. Projects on a global scale are conducting laboratory research to identify plants with therapeutic properties, with the ultimate goal of developing such compounds into medicines with acceptable drug delivery mechanisms and bringing them to market. Non-synthetic medications derived from plant or herbal sources have attracted a lot of interest because of their high tolerability and low likelihood of adverse medication reactions. All diseases, the theory goes, can be cured by something found in nature. Medicines can be taken in a wide variety of forms, including tablets, capsules, powders, semi-liquid extracts, tinctures, decoctions, medicinal teas, solutions, and more. Longer release, patient adherence, and other objectives necessitate adjustments to herbal medications. Researchers into novel drug delivery systems had hitherto overlooked herbal remedies due to a lack of scientific validation and the challenges inherent in processing, standardizing, extracting, and identifying them. Transdisciplinary research and cuttingedge isolation, purification, and identification techniques have led to the development of novel herbal compositions. Bioactive plant extracts and phytoconstituents are used in a wide variety of Nano- Emulsions, microspheres, transferosomes, implants, and ethosomes. Compared to herbal remedies, novel formulations fared better. Among these advantages are increased solubility, bioavailability, toxicity, pharmacological activity, stability, delivery duration, and resistance to physical and chemical degradation. As a result, the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of herbal medications can be enhanced by the use of novel drug delivery systems, making them safer and more effective. This article aims to provide a concise description of the many new drug delivery techniques that have been created for the administration of herbal medications. The ultimate goal is to increase the efficacy of therapies and to learn more about their significance and worldwide appeal.
