About this book

Nanotechnology in Herbal Medicine: Applications and Innovations details how nanomaterials can be utilized to improve the therapeutic mechanisms and key properties of herbal drugs. This book guides the reader through the preparation, properties, applications, benefits and challenges of herbal nanoformulations, helping them solve fundamental and applied problems in the area of novel herbal medicines and drug delivery systems. Herbal drugs play a large role in traditional medicines, which are actively used by many cultures across the globe for the treatment of various illnesses and injuries. Despite their widespread use, herbal medicines may lead to possible health risks due to the lack of information on the chemical composition and permitted dosage. - Covers a range of nanomaterial types for use in herbal medicine, including polymeric, metallic, carbon-based and magnetic nanoparticles, as well as dendrimers, liposomes, nanogels, and more - Explores the variety of biomedical applications for herbal nanoformulations, such as in cancer therapy, cardiovascular disease and wound healing - Weighs up the advantages and disadvantages of using nanotechnology in herbal medicine, with a focus on toxicological impact
