Abstract

In Iranian folk medicine, Ziziphora species have been used as an infusion for various purposes such as for the anti-asthmatic, stomachic, carminative, activities etc [1–2]. The chemical compositions of the essential oil obtained from the aerial flowering parts of Ziziphora tenuior L. (Lamiaceae) by hydro-distillation using a Clevenger- type apparatus [3], from three different regions of Fars province, Iran. The essential oils were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. The major component of the oil was pulegone (51–87%).
