Essential oils exhibit a wide range of pharmacological activity. Surface exposure of a number of oils leads to reddening of the skin and causes an anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and healing effect. Furthermore, essential oils in the form of sprays cause a deodorant, insecticide, and repellent effect. Internal exposure activates blood circulation and stimulates appetite. Essential oils have a choleretic, carminative, antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, diuretic and sedative effect. In this regard, the study of aromatic plants, the establishment of the component composition of the essential oils, and the development of drugs based on them are particularly importnat. In the study, using the method of gas chromatography – mass spectrometry analysis, the authors established a chemical composition of essential oil of the aerial parts of O. basilicum L. of the flora of Belgorod region. The experiment established that n-hexane extraction O. basilicum L. contains 11 components, in which monoterpene alcohol – β-linalool, phenol – eugenol, and sesquiterpene – germakren D are dominant.
