ABSTRACT
Plants are considered excellent resources for the generation of greener biomaterials. Plant extract are renewable in nature. Various metabolites present in plant extract are normally used in redox reaction for the formation of eco-friendly nano-particles. It is also considered as the main factory for the green synthesis of metal nano-particles. The plant-based nano-particles is very necessary for absolute harmony connection between plant science and nanotechnology. Ashwagandha is the non-toxic herb which used to treat a range of conditions and its life changing benefits runs over a long time. Its numerous medicinal values make this plant so popular. It is a stress buster which works for all “SUPERHERB”. This super herb rejuvenates our body and brain from the inside out.
