This study examines the potent therapeutic properties of the essential oils extracted from ginger, arugula, mustard, and rosemary. Even with a wealth of study on essential oils, a thorough chemical profiling of these particular plants is still lacking. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectroscopy (GC-MS) was used to identify and quantify the oils' chemical components. The objective was to present a thorough examination of the chemical components in order to gain a deeper understanding of their therapeutic effects. The potential health benefits of important components, like gamma-sitosterol in arugula and 9-12-Octadecenoic acid in ginger, were highlighted by the results. These discoveries may improve the way these oils are used in the pharmaceutical and other industries, improving patient outcomes and advancing product development.
