Herbal Drug Standardization: A Systemic Review
Abstract
The demand for herbal medicinal products and materials is rising, and maintaining their quality is therefore becoming increasingly important. Numerous physical, chemical, and geographical factors that affect these materials' quality also affect the quality of the herbals. In addition, the quality of herbal materials is becoming increasingly a concern due to adulteration. The quality characteristics of the herbal material the herbal pharmaceuticals are assessed using a variety of chemical and phytochemical tests, analytical techniques, and hyphenated analytical techniques. Formulations made from herbs are now widely accepted as effective treatments for many ailments. the creation of reliable analytical techniques, such as quantitative assessments of marker/bioactive chemicals and other techniques, that can accurately profile the phytochemical makeup. For the manufacture and manufacturing of herbal medications, standardisation is a crucial step in establishing a uniform biological activity, consistent chemical profile, or even just a quality assurance programme. It is crucial to follow WHO-specific recommendations for evaluating the quality, safety, and efficacy of herbal medicines as a condition for worldwide harmonisation. An overview of the numerous methods used for the extraction, characterisation, and standardisation of herbal nanomedicines is presented.
