Abstract: Traditional herbal medicines are used to combat various ailments throughout the world. They are used as therapeutics in developing countries, while as a complementary or alternative treatments in many developed countries. In spite of their extraordinary potential and excellent in vitro activities, many herbal drugs and natural products have limited therapeutic actions on oral administration. Novel drug delivery systems with the application of various nanotechnology tools can solve the problems associated with solubility, instability and bioavailability of herbal medicines and natural products. In this minireview, limitations with traditional herbal medicines for oral administration and ways to improve their bioavailability and bioactivity have been briefly described.
