The most common oils are obtained from the following plant species: Lavandula angustifolia, Rosmarinus officinalis, Mentha x piperita, Melaleuca alternifolia, Eucalyptus globulus, Citrus limon, Citrus aurantium ssp. dulcis, Citrus reticulata, Cinnamomum zeylanicum, Syzygium aromaticum, Pinus silvestris and Pelargonium x asperum. Applications of essential oils for therapeutic purporses are numerous (i.e., wellbeing, labour, infections, dementia and anxiety treatment) but often they have not been scientifically validated.

Indicirana je najcesce kod bolova u leđima, vratu, glavobolja, problema s cirkulacijom, misicnih atrofija, istegnuca, upalnih promjena tetiva (tendinitis), reumatskih bolova, a zahvaljujuci holistickom pristupu blagotvorno djeluje i kod anksioznosti, nervoze i stresa. U ovom clanku navedena su najcesca etericna ulja koja se primjenjuju za masažu. Ta ulja dobivena su iz sljedecih biljaka: Lavandula angustifolia, Rosmarinus officinalis, Mentha x piperita, Melaleuca alternifolia, Eucalyptus globulus, Citrus limon, Citrus aurantium ssp. dulcis, Citrus reticulata, Cinnamomum zeylanicum, Syzygium aromaticum, Pinus silvestris i Pelargonium x asperum.

(Apiaceae) are presented. Essential oil was analyzed by GC-MS. The oil proved to be rich in sesquiterpenes. Spathulenol (10.0%) was the main compound of the oil.

Quercitrin, isoquercitrin, hyperoside and rutin were identified in all leaf samples by means of thin-layer chromatography; the fruits contained only isoquercitrin. Chlorogenic acid was present in some leaf samples. The content of flavonoids depended on the plant organ investigated, date of collection and the locality. Spectrophotometric determination of the flavonoids indicated that the leaves are richer in flavonoids (0.52-2.00%) than fruits (0.10-0.29%).

Spectrophotometric analysis indicated that H. perforatum subsp. perforatum is richer in flavonoids and tannins than the other subspecies. HPLC analysis confirmed the higher yield of flavonoids in H. perforatum subsp. perforatum and gave also a higher content of phenolic acids. H. perforatum subsp. angustifolium contained more hypericin. The presence of rutin was proven only in H. perforatum subsp. perforatum. The antimicrobial activity of the extracts of both subspecies was evaluated based on the inhibition zone diameters using the hole-plate diffusion method. The MeOH extracts, dichloromethane and petroleum ether fractions were effective against Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis, Enterococcus faecalis and Bacillus subtilis. The results indicate that H. perforatum subsp. angustifolium had a stronger antimicrobial effect than the other subspecies.

Morphological and anatomical characteristics of showy chickweed bear a close resemblance to the same of the other members of genus Cerastium. TLC of flavonoids and phenolic acids of aerial parts of C. grandiflorum collected in Croatia (Mts. Mosor and Velebit)showed the presence of flavonoid glycoside hyperoside and caffeic acid, along with flavonoid aglycone quercetin.
