The volatile constituents of the root of Aristolochia asclepiadifolia Brandg. has been investigated by gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry, by which many compounds were identified during a four‐year period. Linalol and its oxides, borneol and its oxides, guaiol and isomers were the major compounds found, accompanied by α‐bisabolol, ledol, terpineol, limonene and its oxides with vanillin being a minor but important component. The freshly prepared essential oil has a characteristic pleasant aroma, and smells like many absolutes.
