One of the most revolutionary areas of contemporary pharmaceutical science is nanotechnology, which provides creative ways to get around the drawbacks of traditional drug delivery methods. Poor water solubility, instability, low bioavailability, quick metabolism, and limited absorption of numerous phytoconstituents are some of the difficulties faced by herbal medicine, despite its reputation for therapeutic efficacy, safety, and cultural acceptance. One potential solution to these issues is the use of nanotechnology in herbal preparations. The therapeutic efficacy of herbal medications can be greatly increased by encasing or delivering herbal actives through nanoparticles like polymeric nanoparticles, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs), nanoemulsions, liposomes, metallic nanoparticles, and phytosomes. These nanosystems increase solubility, preserve bioactives from degradation, allow deep penetration into tissues, prolong systemic circulation, and provide controlled. Additionally, the "green synthesis" of nanoparticles can be made eco-friendly and biocompatible by using plant extracts as natural reducing and stabilising agents. The foundations, varieties, preparation processes, characterisation methods, benefits, difficulties, and wide range of therapeutic uses of nanoparticles in herbal medicine are the main topics of this review. By combining nanotechnology with traditional herbal knowledge, new treatment approaches that are safer, more effective, more scientifically advanced can be developed.
