Materials and Methods: : In this study, after collecting and drying the leaves, essential oils of the plant was extracted using a solvent-free microwave extraction. The compounds of essential oil were identified by the GC-MS (Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry). The effect of antioxidant was determined by beta-carotene test and antimicrobial activity was carried using agar-dilution method also, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value was evaluated.
