Abstract

Herbal remedies are gaining popularity as an alternative to allopathic medicine because of how much better they are at curing modern health problems. By facilitating the efficient distribution of medicinal molecules to both targeted and nontargeted regions, nanotherapeutic approaches enhance the pharmacokinetic efficacy of herbal remedies. Active and system-based nanostructures have the potential to utterly transform herbal therapy. Nanomedicine may benefit from third-generation nanotechnology, namely system-based nanostructures, due to their self-healing properties. Research and Market predicts that the pharmaceutical market's use of nanotechnology will increase by 15.3% by 2026. The effectiveness of dual therapy treatment is enhanced by nanotechnology. The creation of cell-penetrating peptides, which allow the transport of drug molecules to the afflicted cells, is made possible by nanotechnology. The rate of medication metabolism is accelerated by nanomaterials. The use of nanotechnology to enhance histidine activity has significant implications for the treatment of cancer and acute genetic disorders. Acute illnesses such as cancer, genetic disorders, neurological disorders, behavioural disorders, cardiovascular disorders, and bone fractures can all benefit from a nanotherapeutic approach to treatment. Nanomedicines' market share is growing at an exponential rate because of their superior therapeutic efficacy. Increased access to Ayurvedic treatment will result from nanotechnology's ability to boost the efficacy of herbal remedies. Waste management is further supported by the use of nanotechnology, which enhances the ability to extract bioactive components from plant-based waste products. Due to the dynamic nature of infectious illnesses, nano vaccines work more effectively than traditional vaccinations. This chapter will describe research on the use of nanotechnology in various ayurvedic practices, which will broaden the use of herbal remedies for the treatment of long-term health problems. Additionally, it will investigate the potential of nanomaterials to enhance the efficacy of herbal remedies, which can aid in the development of novel ayurvedic treatment approaches.
