In this article includes complete description of advantage, dis-advantages, methods of herbosome preparation and evaluation of herbosome. Different type of techniques used for preparation of herbosome such as solvent evaporation technique, anti-solvent precipitation technique, rotary evaporation technique, ethanol injection technique. An evaluation parameters are physicochemical evaluations, microscopical evaluations and in-vitro, in-vivo evaluations. Through this review article we are concluding that the article would be helpful for the researchers in terms of the preparation and evaluation of nano technology based drug delivery system.
