ABSTRACT

Plant-based medicines (phytomedicines) have a long history of human use. Phytomedicines are preferred because of their safety and availability, but they show some problems like low solubility, low absorption, degradation on storage, and higher doses. The use of nanotechnology can help phytomedicines to overcome these problems and make their advanced systems for use in human health. Various nanotechnologies used for the preparation of nanophytomedicines are described in this chapter. Some plants used as medicines and their advanced nanoformulations are also mentioned with the traditional nanomedicines.
