Background
Myrtus communis L. leaves, due to their tonic and antiseptic properties, have been used as folk medicine in many communities to treat a variety of conditions such as inflammation, peptic ulcers, diarrhea, leucorrhoea, headaches, excessive perspiration, and skin diseases. In this study, we examined the chemical makeup and biological properties of M. communis essential oils (EOs) from two locations in Palestine, including Jericho, the world's deepest site and Jenin. The plant's methanol and ethyl acetate extracts' biological efficacy were also assessed.
