Herbs and herbal derivatives are of great research interest owing to their wide applications in therapeutics.
Several folk evidences have been recorded in the formulations of ancient world’s medicinal system, which have attracted researchers for their scientific validation. Various herbal compounds has been identified and showed their therapeutic efficiency against pathophysiological conditions. Employing these herbal compounds for synthesizing nanoparticles for biomedical applications have been ventured in recent times. Green synthesis is the procedure of synthesizing nanoparticles from herbal/ biogenic resources and several metallic nanoparticles have been synthesized by this process. The metal nanoparticle-herb combination may show better efficacy against different pathophysioloical conditions. This review tries to put forward the different metal nanoparticles formed f..
