Herbal medicine has a long history of being medically effective, with low toxicity, side effects, and high biocompatibility. However, the bioavailability of raw herb extracts and bioactive components is minimal due to their low water solubility. To circumvent the solubility concerns, electrospinning technology can provide a delivery option. Electrospun fibres have a high specific surface area, a high porosity, good mechanical strength, and flexible architectures. Various natural and manmade polymer-bound fibres can simulate extracellular matrix usage in a variety of medical sectors at the same time. This research examines the evolution of electrospinning technology and the polymers used to incorporate herbal medicine into electrospun nanofibers.
