Nano-Formulations in Herbal Medicine

Herbal medicines have long been valued for their therapeutic potential, yet their clinical use is often limited by poor solubility, low bioavailability, and inconsistent efficacy. This timely volume explores how nanotechnology is revolutionizing herbal medicine by transforming traditional phytoconstituents into advanced nano-formulations with enhanced stability, targeted delivery, and superior therapeutic outcomes.

Featuring contributions from leading experts, the book covers cutting-edge topics including liposomal, dendrimeric, micellar, and solid-lipid nanocarriers; transdermal, pulmonary, mucoadhesive, and oral nano-herbal systems; green synthesis approaches; theranostic applications; and nano-herbal strategies for cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, wound healing, skin care, and antiviral therapy. It also addresses critical challenges such as biocompatibility, toxicity, manufacturing scalability, and regulatory considerations.

An essential resource for researchers, pharmacologists, nanotechnologists, and clinicians seeking to bridge traditional herbal wisdom with modern drug delivery science.
