Nowadays rapidly and continuously increasing population is creating a significant problem with adverse social, economic, personal, and health outcomes and environmental damage. There are many options available in the market for birth control. Due to the side effects of allopathic or synthetic medicine, herbal medicines are becoming popular day by day since herbal drugs are found safe, economical, and readily available for therapeutic uses. Medicinal plants are regarded as rich resources of traditional medicines; many modern medicines are produced from these plants. The usefulness of herbal medicines can be increased with the help of nanoparticles. A nanoparticle can be defined as a particle of matter that is between 1- 100 nanometers in diameter. Nanoparticles have several properties that distinguish them from bulk materials simply by size, chemical reactivity, absorption, and biological mobility. Herbal nanoparticles are also used in anticancer, anti-diabetic, antimicrobial and antioxidant drugs. Plants have various metabolites that can cause potent antifertility and fertility. This is high time when active components of herbal plants should be further investigated for their antifertility activity. This review aims to provide glimpses and emphasize the importance of herbal nanoparticles in fertility control.
