The method of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry investigated the chemical composition of the essential oil obtained of air-dry raw medicinal plant Artemisia scoparia L. growing in the mountain regions of the flora of the South Fergana. The main components of the essential oil are camphor (39%), eucolyptol (52%), benzene (4%), camphene (7%), which comprise of 99.98% of the mass of the mixture, and the remaining 22 peak minor components, the content is very small (in the amount of 0.02%). However, using the method of neutron activation analysis in the above-ground part of Artemisia scoparia L. was established quantitative content of 42 macro - and microelements. It is revealed that Artemisia scoparia L. accumulates in the course of their life considerable number of macro - and trace elements such as potassium - 42600 mcg/g, calcium - 38700 mcg/g, magnesium - 7640 mcg/g, chlorine - 7600 mcg/g, iron - 2970 mcg/g, sodium - 920 mcg/g, manganese - 89 mcg/g and zinc - 35 mcg/g . The fluctuation of the other macro-and microelements are insignificant. The content of heavy metals in the organs of Artemisia scoparia L. does not exceed maximum-permissible norms and may be recommended for medical use. The information above about the study of ethereal-oil-bearing plants of flora of the South Fergana testify to the perspectiveness of Artemisia scoparia L. as sources of new and effective medicines and biologically active additives.
