The botanical families covered include Lamiaceae, Rutaceae, Myrtaceae, Zingiberaceae, Apiaceae, and Asteraceae among others. For each family, the major essential oil-bearing genera and species will be discussed along with the characteristic chemical constituents of their volatile oils. The pharmacological activities attributed to these essential oils will also be overviewed
