<description xml:lang='en' descriptionType='Abstract'><p>Due to their efficiency and safety, synthetic products raise several questions as for their use; thus, medicinal plants regain interest as potential source of bioactive natural compounds. <em>Marrubium </em>species are recognized to possess many beneficial effects on the human body. They are widely used in folk medicine all over the world to treat a variety of ailments. This paper reviews information on the essential oil of <em>Marrubium </em>species (except <em>M. vulgare</em>) described until now regarding extraction, chemical composition and biological activities. <em>Marrubium </em>essential oils, although quantitatively poor, are rich in chemical composition. This composition consists especially of sesquiterpenoids and a little amount of monoterpenes. <em>Marrubium </em>essential oils exhibit antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. However, because of the lack of literature concerning essential oil of these species, further studies are necessary, particularly regarding their activities.</p></description>
