Abstract

The herbal medicinal plants are very diverse and herbs contain a wide variety of different phytoconstituents that have different pharmacological activities. Medicinal plants contain various phenolic phytochemicals that are proven to cure and treat various diseases. The herbal use is rather a non-systematic way that includes direct usage of plant medicinal part and forming their dosage form (Like churn, bhasma, etc.). In this way of treatment, there are several drawbacks like allergic reactions, drug overdose, adulterations, un-specificity of site of drug action and more. Phytoconstituents of the herbal plants are a great way to re approach the treatment of diseases. This way of treatment can be combined with the pharmaceutical approach and the treatment can be done in a specialized and technical way i.e. Phytosomes.
