Abstract
Plant is considered as an important source of phytopharmaceuticals. Phytomedicine is also known as herbal medicines, herbalism, phototherapeutics, or botanical medicine. Phytomedicine is a medicinal system based on the use of plants parts or plant extracts having therapeutic efficacy. Phytoconstituents are mainly extracted from different plant parts including leaves, bark, stem, roots, rhizomes, fruits, flowers, seeds, etc. Herbal medicines are widely used in different medicinal systems such as Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha, Homeopathy, and other provincial medicinal systems. Nanomedicine based drug delivery systems for herbal drugs can possibly enhance the biological activity and overcome problems associated with phytomedicines hence more amount of drug must be delivered at targeted site for therapeutic efficacy. In this book chapter authors have thoroughly reviewed the literature about role of phytomedicine in present scenario as well as futuristic role in healthcare management.
