Thirty‐three oil samples isolated from aerial parts of Myrtus communis L. harvested in seven localities, from Northern to Central Morocco, have been analyzed by combination of chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques. The 33 compositions have been subjected to statistical analysis, hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and principal component analysis (PCA). Two groups have been differentiated on the basis of their myrtenyl acetate and α‐pinene contents and each one was sub‐divided in two sub‐groups according to the contents of 1,8‐cineole and linalool. The compositions of our 33 myrtle oil samples may be named as follow by their main components: sub‐group IA (13/33): α‐pinene/1,8‐cineole/linalool; sub‐group IB (6/33): 1,8‐cineole/α‐pinene; sub‐group IIA (10/33): 1,8‐cineole/myrtenyl acetate; sub‐group IIB (4/33): myrtenyl acetate.

“…In our study, the anti-helmintic activity of Myrtus communis L. fruit extract on C. elegans nematodes was investigated. Many medicinal effects of Myrtus communis L. have been mentioned in the literature [3][4][5][6][7]. In addition, there are studies showing the antiparasitic effect of Myrtus communis L. In a study, potent prophylactic effects of essential oils of Myrtus communis L. were shown in mice infected with Toxoplasma gondii, especially at doses of 200 and 300 mg/kg [19].…”

M yrtus communis L. (Myrtaceae) is one of the characteristic representatives of the Mediterranean flora. This species widely found in the Middle East and Mediterranean Region is both naturally grown and cultivated [1]. Myrtus communis L. is an evergreen shrub that can grow to 1-5 meters approximately. The oppositely arranged leaves are ovate-lanceolate, 2-5 cm long, coriaceous, glabrous, punctuateglandular, and entire. The flowering period lasts from June to September. Subglobose to ellipsoid fruits are blue-black (or rarely yellowish-white) when ripe [2]. Different parts of this plant such as fruits, branches, leaves, and seeds have been extensively used in traditional medicine. Traditionally used as an antiseptic, disinfectant, and hypoglycemic agent, its leaves and fruits have been used as an antiseptic drug in villages of Turkey [3]. Similarly, in Italian traditional medicine, the fruit of this plant is used in the treatment of many types of infectious diseases, including diarrhea

“…The isolation of essential oils from Myrtus communis leaves is usually obtained by hydro distillation method in a Clevenger apparatus type and the average yield is 0.7%. El Hartiti, et al [113] it is rich in monoterpenes hydrocarbons [114] and the major compounds in the essential oils were alpha-pinene, 1,8-cineole, and limonene and linalool [115]. These compounds are known to possess good biological activity.…”

Over the centuries, humanity has known and utilized some sacred oils extracted from their medicinal plants for therapeutic purpose. They are considered as good source of bioactive compounds having a wide range of vital biological activities. Aromatic oils have been a part of human history for more than 3,500 years BC and appeared with regularity throughout all major civilizations down the ages, with uses ranging from religious ritual, food flavoring, medicines, perfumery and the masking of bad odors. It is impossible to date exactly when plants were first used medicinally, since such a development would have taken place over thousands of years. During recent decades, many researchers have investigated the mechanisms of action and the therapeutic use of essential oils as physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. This review, highlights on some sacred essential oils extracted from important traditional medicinal plants that possesses several pharmacological properties, considering that the safety and versatility of this these supplement should allow for its use in numerous pathological conditions.
