Abstract: The aim of this review was to identify, shed light on, from a chemical and medicinal perspective and identify its secondary metabolites, tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus), a culinary herb used as a food supplement and in many dishes, and also medicinally. Its biologically active secondary metabolites include essential oils, coumarins, flavonoids, phenolic carbonic acids and other mineral elements and vitamins. It is known to possess antimicrobial activity against a wide range of bacterial species, including Staphylococcus aureus, Shigella, Listeria monocytogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Bacillus subtilis, and Escherichia coli (RSHI, ATCC 25922). It has bactericidal activity against Helicobacter pylori and treats digestive problems, poor appetite, water retention, and toothache. Its therapeutic digestive actions include appetite stimulation, spasm (spasm) relief, and laxative properties. It also has diuretic and choleretic properties. It is used as an antioxidant due to its chemical content that protects cells from free radicals.The aim of this review was to identify, shed light on, from a chemical and medicinal perspective and identify its secondary metabolites, tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus), a culinary herb used as a food supplement and in many dishes, and also medicinally.
