Natural products are the main stay of the alternative system of medicine. Artemisia nilagirica is commonly known as the Indian wormwood, family Asteraceae, found in the hilly areas of India. The plant has shown noticeably significant pharmacological activities. Traditionally, it is used in management of epilepsy, nervous disorders, as diuretic, anti-inflammatory and skin disorders. In the recent past, various actions of aerial parts are studied and it was found to possess antimicrobial, antifungal, antibacterial, antifilarial, insecticidal, antiulcer, anticancer, antioxidant and anti-asthmatic activity. Camphor, 1,8-cineole, β-eudesmol, artemisia alcohol, α-gurjunene, para-cymene, terpinene-4-ol and α-pinene are main essential oil constituents in A. nilagirica. Oil possesses antifungal, antimicrobial, insecticidal and larvicidal activity. These evidences prove that the whole plant is of great therapeutic valve. The future prospect includes pre clinical studies on the aerial parts as well as root.

Mature vegetative plants of Artemisia roxburghiana Besser var. purpurascens (Jacq.) Hook were collected from Mussoorie (2205 m), Bhatwari (1218 m) and Bhaldana (850 m) from Garhwal Himalayas and their essential oils were isolated and subjected to GC and GC/MS analysis. The oil yield was lowest (0.2%) in the plants collected from the relatively higher altitude of Mussoorie; it was rich in borneol (21.2%) followed by linalyl acetate (7.4%) and ahumulene (6.7%). The oils from plants collected from the lower altitudes of Bhatwari and Bhaldana yielded higher percentage of oils (0.8-0.85%) which were dominated by b-caryophyllene (16.3%, 18.4%) followed by a-thujone (12.0%) in the former and eugenol (16.2%) in the later.

“…The chemical composition of the oil of A. fragrans aerial parts from Iran (Tabriz in northwestern Iran) has previously been investigated and 1,8-cineole (52.1%) and α-thujone (34.8%) were reported as the principal constituents [7] analyzed and 1, 8-cineole, capillene and eugenol chemotypes were characterized [8]. An oil of A. nilagirica, collected during the flowering stage, from Chamoli, Garhwal Himalaya had as its main constituents camphor (9.7%), β-eudesmol (8.0%), 1, 8-cineole (6.6%), borneol (5.3%), artemisia alcohol (3.4%), camphene (2.6%), α-gurjunene (1.9%), p-cymene (1.6%), terpinen-4-ol (1.2%) and α-pinene (1.2%) [9]. The main oil constituents of A. scoparia leaves cultivated in India were γ-terpinene and eugenol [10].…”

Hydrodistillation of leaves and roots of Artemisia fragrans Willd. (Asteraceae) yielded 0.9% and 0.1 %( v/w) essential oils, respectively. GC/MS analysis allowed identification of 19 components, which made up 91.1% of the total oil from the leaves, while only 9 compounds (93.8%) were identified in the roots. The main components of the leaf oil were chrysanthenon (23.8%), 1, 8-cineole (23.7%), β-caryophyllene (9.6%), p-cymene (7. 7%), filifolide-A (5.7%) and filifolone (5.7%). In the root oil, the main constituents were camphor (67.0%) and camphene (16.9%). Antibacterial activity was tested against Grampositive and Gram-negative bacteria using the agar diffusion method. Activity was observed against two Gram-positive and one Gram-negative bacteria.
