Abstract
Herbal medicine is one of humanity's oldest professions, and herbal medicine's therapeutic efficacy has been recognised since the dawn of time. In many parts of India, herbal treatments have been found to be effective in the treatment of malaria, diarrhoea, jaundice, diabetes, cough, fever, snakebite, miscarriages, and gonorrhoea. Curcuma caesia is a perennial herb with bluish-black rhizomes that is native to Northeast and Central India. In antioxidant, antiinflammatory, and human tumour cell proliferation, inhibitory effects of the rhizomes of indigenous Curcuma caesia were investigated in this work. According to Research, Inc., the global curcumin market was worth USD 46.6 million, with North America being the largest regional market and India being one of the largest curcumin producers. With a revenue-based compound yearly growth rate (CAGR) of 14.8% throughout the projection period, Europe is predicted to be the fastest-growing region, with the global market. Because of expanding scientific talent and a large network of biotechnology and food chemistry applications, curcumin quality and quantity are projected to improve in the future. The study emphasizes the importance of using the bioactive components of curcuma caesia in nanotechnology, liposomes, niosomes, micelles, and cyclodextrin.
