Herbal medicines have gained recognition for their potential in treating various skin disorders, driven by both traditional practices and modern scientific research. The efficacy of these natural remedies can be attributed to their diverse chemical compositions, which often include bioactive compounds with antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. The skin is the body’s largest organ which serves essential functions which include protection, temperature regulation, and sensory perception. This systematic review evaluates the effectiveness of herbal medicinal plants and their formulations in treating various skin disorders, leveraging India’s rich botanical diversity. Herbal remedies have gained traction in modern healthcare due to their adaptability, reduced side effects, and efficacy in managing conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, vitiligo, and skin infections (microbial, fungal, and bacterial). This review highlights the therapeutic potential of plant-based treatments and their benefits over conventional options. It underscores the role of traditional herbal medicine in providing viable, less invasive solutions for skin health, and supports its integration into contemporary treatment...

The practice of Pharmacovigilance focuses on identifying, evaluating and preventing drug-related adverse events, also referred to as ADRs, which ensure the safety of pharmaceuticals. Regarding these changes in healthcare systems, it is becoming very important to implement new technologies, such as artificial intelligence, in pharmacovigilance operations that promise to enhance drug safety monitoring. Such AI devices as Natural Language Processing (NLP), Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning and Big Data Analysis are changing the landscape of Primary Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs): detection, analysis, and reporting. These technologies allow for faster processing, attention and early response to signals, and other problems that have always been creating barriers such as late signal detection, and low levels of reporting. This paper highlights the impact of AI in the process of modernizing the steps of pharmacovigilance, including data analysis and making predictions about involved cases. Also, we elaborate on the ways AI strengthens regulatory reporting, stakeholder engagement, and risk minimization through superior signal detection. However, employing AI for pharmacovigilance also creates some ethical and...

Nasya, one of the core detoxification therapies in Ayurveda, involves the administration of medicinal substances through the nasal passage. It is particularly effective for disorders affecting the head and neck region (above the clavicle), but it also influences the nervous and endocrine systems systemically. In Ayurveda, the nasal cavity (Nasa) is seen as a direct pathway to the brain (Shiras), allowing medicines to reach the brain and affect neurological, endocrine, and circulatory functions. Modern medicine also recognizes the nasal route for its potential in both local and systemic treatment outcomes. This study explores the mechanisms of Nasya through both Ayurvedic and modern scientific...

Nanocrystals are crystalline particles having particle size range of 100 to 1000 nm. However, these nano-sized systems are thermodynamically unstable, stabilizers are required to incorporate them. The poorly soluble drugs lead to problems like poor absorption and therapeutic failure. One such method to overcome these solubility problems is the development of nanocrystals. These systems reduce particle size that increases surface area and hence dissolution. Nanoscience technology results in improving solubility, bioavailability and dissolution rate of poorly water-soluble drugs. According to the Noyes-Whitney equation, there is a direct relationship between dissolution rate and surface area of drug particles. Various methods of preparation nanocrystals are Crystallization method, Anti-solvent crystallization, High gravity-controlled precipitation. Evaluation of nanocrystals with different...

Drugs taken by humans and animals find their way into rivers, lakes, and even drinking water and can have devastating effects on the environment. This review summarizes the research regarding pharmaceutical industry emissions and the health risks of pharmaceutical wastewater exposure.The present review is prepared by the extensive literature survey using different search engines like google.com, PubMed, SCOPUS, Medline, Ind Med, and the library of Galgotias University, Greater Noida. This review observed the consumption of medicinal products as one of the main sources of environmental contamination due to excretion (urine, feces) and improper disposal of unused or expired medicines (toilet, sink, litter). Some medicinal products, in particular anti-parasiticides, antimycotics, antibiotics, and estrogens, which can all have ecotoxicological effects, pose environmental risks in specific cases. The supervision of pharmaceutical waste poses a great challenge to policy planners, city administrators, medical personnel, and workers in the recycling industry. It is interdisciplinary, involving pharmacy, nursing, environment services, infection control, quality assurance, risk management, etc. According to the most recent data on water quality in...
