        abstract = {A novel drug delivery system offers an innovative approach to administering medications that address the limitations of traditional methods. Our country possesses a rich knowledge base of Ayurveda, which has recently gained recognition for its potential. However, the current drug delivery methods used to administer herbal medicine are outdated, leading to reduced efficacy of the treatments. By applying novel drug delivery technologies to herbal medicine, it may be possible to enhance their effectiveness while minimizing side effects. The integration of novel drug delivery systems with Indian Ayurvedic medicines is crucial for addressing more serious health conditions. For many years, herbal medicines were overlooked for development into novel formulations due to a lack of scientific validation and challenges related to standardization, extraction, and identification of individual components in complex polyherbal systems. However, modern phytopharmaceutical research can address these scientific needs—such as determining pharmacokinetics, understanding mechanisms of action, identifying sites of action, and establishing accurate dosages—allowing herbal medicines to be incorporated into advanced drug delivery systems. These systems can include technologies such as nanoparticles, microemulsions, matrix systems, solid dispersions, liposomes, and solid lipid nanoparticles. This article summarizes various drug delivery technologies that can be applied to herbal actives, along with relevant examples.},
