Abstract

Recent years a nanoparticle have gained significant importance to applying by Green synthesis and has become one of the most specific methods. Green synthesis of nanoparticle is a new branch of nanotechnology. Since long time Indian have used herbal drugs because impactful and lesser side effect which is safe for human body. Over hundreds of years herbal medicines are manufactured on large scale for therapelitic adventure India is sitting on a gold mine of well recorded and traditionally like Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, Homeopathy, Naturopathy etc. In ayurveda medicinal plants are playing significant role since ancient time. Medicinal plant parts and plant products are very inexpensive source of Indian Ayurvedic medicines. Different plants and their products are the most dapper regimentations of research and contemporary materials as nanoparticles in nanobiotechnology. This green synthesis method is alternative to chemical methods, since it is cheap, pollutant free and eco-friendly. The Nanoparticles (Nps) are generally less than 100 nm. The study of objects less than 100 nms is called nanotechnology. Nanoparticles are glorious mineral materials of silver, platinum and gold. Gold, silver and platinum are well accredited as NPs and have significant application in optoelectronic, electronics, magnetic and information storage. Nps creates interest of the research due to its effect on chemical, electronics, energy, space industries and drug industries. Nanotechnology also includes to the characterization, manufacture, manipulative uses of Nanoparticles. Nanotechnology provides a new field for material science. Nanoparticles occupy importance due to its small size, chemical, physical and biological properties. Recently metal nanoparticles are in scientific news due to their diversified applications in various areas. The most importantly they are used in biomedical areas like targeted drug delivery, imaging, sensing and antimicrobial activity.
