ABSTRACT
Herbal therapy is the application of herbal remedies to prevent and treat illness. It encompasses a variety of practices, from the use of standardized and treated herbal extracts to traditional and popular medicines used worldwide. Many skin conditions and wounds are treated with herbal extracts and isolated plant compounds. Different portions of plants, such as stems, leaves, flowers, roots, or seeds, are used in herbal medicine, also known as botanical medicine or phytomedicine, to treat and prevent diseases. Improved general health and well-being are common goals of using herbal remedies. They are accessible in various forms, including dried or fresh plants, tablets, capsules, teas and extracts. Herbal remedies consist of vitamins, minerals, herbs, or mixtures of these that are taken orally. Herbs like Arnica Montana, German chamomile,St. John's Wort, Evening Primrose and others have been used in studies to treat dermatological conditions like dermatitis, acne, wounds, burns and psoriasis. Additionally, to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of topical formulations and comprehend their penetration and distribution in the skin layers, dermatokinetic research techniques like the tape stripping technique, microdialysis, vasoconstrictor assay and confocal laser scanning microscopy have been used. Dermatokinetic research aims to lighten topically applied herbal compounds' pharmacokinetic properties and bioavailability by examining their Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Excretion (ADME). Dermatokinetic studies, which assess herbal compounds' systemic exposure and potential toxicity, helps establish safe dosage schedules and formulation techniques.
