Abstract

The intersection of phytonanotherapy, complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), and nanoparticles (NPs) promises an exciting new area in cancer and diabetes treatment. The CAM has attracted international recognition, emphasizing natural therapies and holistic health. Phytonanotherapy uses the promise of environmentally safe and sustainable green synthesis processes to develop NPs rich in bioactive chemicals originating from plants. These NPs provide a novel approach to targeted drug delivery, diagnostics, and therapy. Personalized medicine, tailoring therapies to individual genetic profiles and illness features, will most certainly be a cornerstone of these approaches in the future. The accuracy of NP-based drug delivery systems offers improved treatment outcomes while lowering systemic toxicity. Advanced diagnostics based on NPs and biosensors will enable early disease identification and real-time therapy response monitoring. Furthermore, combining CAM principles with NP-based therapies has great promise for holistic care. Combination therapies combining traditional medicine with cutting-edge nanomedicine have the potential to revolutionize cancer and diabetes care. These medicines will become more widely available provided an improvement in the regulatory approval process and accessibility. Individual preferences and well-being will be prioritized in patient-centered care, promoting a range of treatment options. Collaboration between practitioners of traditional medicine, researchers, artificial intelligence experts, and healthcare providers will improve complete and integrative health care. Green synthesis technologies will improve the efficiency and scalability of NP production. However, greater public and professional awareness is needed through educational initiatives to highlight the benefits and potential of CAM, phytonanotherapy, and NP-based treatments. To summarize, the future of CAM, phytonanotherapy, and NPs in cancer and diabetes treatment is bright since they provide patients with a variety of options while also contributing to more effective, sustainable, and patient-centered health care. To realize the full potential of these novel techniques, rigorous research, comprehensive clinical trials, and regulatory support will be required.
