The essential oil of the Achillea millefolium L. complex growing wild in Northern Greece was analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Several monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes were identified, although the main component was ascaridole (47.2%). Lesser amounts of 1, 8-cineole (10.5%), p-cymene (7.4%), α-terpinene (7.0%) and camphor (8.1%) were also found.
