Integration of Herbal Drugs in Modern Healthcare Systems

The application of herbal drugs has become an extensive part of the human history because the drug has been in use since centuries and all over the continents of Ayurveda in India, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), to the traditional African and Native American medicine systems because the drug has been the major provider of health care before the emergence of synthetic drugs. However, the systematic adoption into health care systems has not been expeditious, consistent and consistent enough so as to be able to hold an adjuvative or substitute position, but not necessarily fit in the mainstream clinical practice. It is a literature review of the evolving role of herbal medicine in contemporary healthcare based on critical analysis of existing literature on its effectiveness, safety, pharmacological and regulatory acceptability in other locations. Such points are historical concepts, treatment role in the management of the chronic and lifestyle-based condition, advances in the clinical research, the persisting issues of standardization and quality control, and the potential of the national and international regulatory body to ensure authenticity and safety.
