The volatile chemical constituents of Zanthoxylum schinifolium , an aromatic medicinal herbaceous plant, were separated by the steam distillation extraction method using a Clevenger‐type apparatus, and were analyzed by gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry (GC/MS). β‐Phellandrene (22.54%), citronellal (16.48%), and geranyl acetate (11.39%) were the predominantly abundant components of Z. schinifolium . The effects of the essential oil from Zanthoxylum schinifolium on the function of osteoblastic MC3T3‐E1 cells were tested. It increased the collagen and mineralization of osteoblasts ( P <0.05), indicating that Zanthoxylum schinifolium may help prevent osteoporosis.
