Abstract

Natural dyes are becoming increasingly common for practical finishes that encourage an eco-friendly lifestyle. Natural dyes are renewable materials safe for the environment and do not cause toxicity, cancer, or allergic reactions. Transdermal Drug Delivery offers a pain-free method for delivering medication systemically by administering a drug formulation to intact, healthy skin. Herbal clothing dyed with these herbs has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant qualities that help the skin and treat dermatitis. Herbal textiles/garments have immense potential in the worldwide textile industry and may one day become a significant textile product. Using herbs and textiles to achieve health while being ecologically conscious is a fantastic way to live a healthy lifestyle. Herbal clothing is becoming increasingly fashionable all around the world. Herbal-treated textiles are one of the most effective approaches to strengthen and extend the worldwide textile market share of the batik business. Herbal clothing is also non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, biodegradable, and eco-friendly, making it an appealing option for modern, well-informed shoppers seeking therapy. Furthermore, developing bio-colorants to meet rising demand will compel entrepreneurs to enter this sector in search of bigger profits, resulting in more employment creation. However, there is a need for standardization of dosages of extract to be used in dying clothes meant for the treatment of specific disease conditions.
