Phlomis bracteosa Royle ex. Benth, an aromatic herb native to the Garhwal region of the Uttarakhand Himalayas, has been recognized for its essential oil composition, particularly its high volatile content. The aerial parts of Phlomis bracteosa Royle ex Benth. were collected from Gangi village (Tehri Garhwal District) of Uttarakhand, India. After the aerial pieces were steam-distilled, a light green oil was produced. By using GC and GC-MS to identify over 30 chemicals, the essential oil composition was ascertained. Linalool was found to be the most abundant oxygenated monoterpene, while (E)-caryophyllene and germacrene D represented the sesquiterpene hydrocarbons. Oxygenated sesquiterpenoids were noticed in smaller amounts. This study explores the phytochemical profile and potential therapeutic applications of the essential oil derived from this plant. The research also examines the ecological significance and sustainable utilization of Phlomis bracteosa in traditional and modern medicine.
