The study assessed the chemical composition, antioxidant, anti-diabetic, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-acetylcholinesterase activity of two plant essential oils. Both oils were found to have significant biological effects, including inhibiting carbohydrate-hydrolyzing enzymes and antimicrobial activity. One oil was found to be a better inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase and the other showed a greater anti-inflammatory effect. In vivo studies confirmed the anti-inflammatory effect. The study highlights the potential of these oils as natural drugs with significant therapeutic properties.
