Hydro‐distilled volatile oil from the aerial parts of Satureja spicigera (C. Koch) Boiss. was obtained at yield of 3.82% w/w based on dry weight. The oil was analyzed by a combination of GC and GC/MS. Forty‐eight components were identified that approximately constitute 96% of the oil. The main constituents of the essential oil were thymol (35.1%), p ‐cymene (22.1%), γ ‐terpinene (13.7%) and carvacrol (4.0%).
