The current trend highly favors the synthesis and production of metallic nanoparticles such as gold, silver, copper, zinc, iron, magnesium etc. utilizing plant components that have superior properties. Simultaneously nanoparticles have been produced utilizing diverse plant extracts sourced from leaves, roots, seeds and other plants. Plant-extract-based nanoparticles are in high demand due to their outstanding characteristics and versatile applications. These nanoparticles are extensively employed in numerous medical procedures, devices and biological applications they do present drawbacks attributed to nanotoxicity. This review offers a comprehensive view of the mechanism of action, production, and medical applications of nanoparticles particularly focusing on their potential health and environmental impacts. This study discusses medicinal plants, plant- extract-based nanoparticles and their potential uses for antiviral, anticancer, antibacterial, and antifungal treatment.<br>
