A REVIEW OF NEW PHARMACEUTICAL STRATEGIES FOR HERBAL MEDICINES IN DERMATOLOGY
Meenakshi Jaiswal
Abstract
Herbal medicines are being used more and more around the world because they are more effective and have less side effects than allopathic medicines. Delivery of herbal drugs in new formulations is hard because it is hard to identify, process, standardise, and extract herbal drugs in order to get a controlled and steady release. Now that technology is getting better, nanoformulations are paving the way for innovative herbal medicine delivery systems that are more effective, bioavailable, and toxic-free. Many different types of new carriers, like nanoparticles, phytosomes, liposomes, microemulsion, etc., have been used to successfully change the way herbal medicines are delivered. Nanoformulation has many advantages over traditional methods of drug delivery, such as better absorption, solubility, and fewer side effects. The goal of this review is to give an overview of herbal medicines used in the India region, with a focus on the new ways that safety and effectiveness of these herbs have been improved and the types of active ingredients that have been utilised to create nanoformulations of herbal medications for topical skin care in order to improve therapeutic response.
