Herbal medicine represents one of the oldest forms of medical practice since ancient times,
which is still used around the world and includes the use of herbal medicines for preventive or therapeutic
purposes. On the other hand, nanomedicine represents a new scientific field that uses nanotechnology,
the manipulation of materials on the nanoscale (1 – 100 nm), for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention
of diseases at the molecular level. Although these two disciplines are very different at first glance, their
integration could unlock the full therapeutic potential of phytotherapy by enabling innovative approaches
to improve the bioavailability and efficacy of herbal medicines through targeted and controlled delivery,
allowing to overcome its current limitations and reduce side effects. This paper explores the importance of
implementing nanotechnology in herbal medicine, emphasizing its potential impact on health care. Also,
the techniques of encapsulating herbal medicines into nanomedicines, various herbal nanoformulations and
application and modes of action, are presented. In conclusion, continued research in this area .Is considered
a key factor in unlocking the full potential of nanomedicine application in herbal medicine. Such research
drives innovation, as well as personalized approaches to therapy and advances healthcare, which could pave
the way for a healthier and more sustainable future.
