The essential oils isolated from the aerial parts of two different populations of Artemisia gmelinii growing in Uttarakhand Himalaya region were analysed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS) in order to determine the variation of concentration in their constituents. Artemisia ketone was detected as a major constituent in both the populations i.e., Niti valley and Jhelum samples. Niti oil was found to have considerably greater amounts of artemesia ketone (53.34%) followed by α-thujone (9.91%) and 1,8-cineole (6.57%), Similarly, the first major compound in Jhelum oil was artemesia ketone (40.87%), whereas ar-curcumene (8.54%) was identified as a second major compound followed by α-thujone (4.04%). Artemisia ketone can be useful for perfumery and fragrance to introduce new and interesting herbaceous notes.

Essential oils (EOs) are reported to be natural pesticides, but their use to protect crops is very limited due to EOs' high instability and great volatility. Nanovectors represent a very smart alternative, and in this study, EOs from (AEO) and (SEO) were formulated into microemulsions and tested against . The EOs were extracted by steam distillation and analyzed by GC-MS.

Article Synopsis
- Achillea fragrantissima, a plant commonly used for treating skin issues, was studied for its essential oils (EOs) and their antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
- Various extraction methods were employed, with supercritical fluid extraction yielding the highest amount of EOs and containing a diverse range of chemical compounds.
- The EOs showed antibacterial effectiveness against various skin pathogens and had notable anti-inflammatory effects on specific immune markers in cell studies, making them potentially useful for skin-related treatments.

As part of our interest in the volatile phytoconstituents of aromatic plants of the Great Basin, we have obtained essential oils of (three samples), (12 samples), and (six samples) from the Owyhee Mountains of southwestern Idaho. Gas chromatographic analyses (GC-MS, GC-FID, and chiral GC-MS) were carried out on each essential oil sample. The essential oils of were dominated by monoterpene hydrocarbons, including α-pinene (36.
