  ABSTRACT: This review provides a comprehensive overview of the phytochemistry, medicinal properties, and biological activities of the Artemisia species. Artemisia species exhibit a wide range of morphological and phytochemical diversity, showing promise for the treatment of various diseases in humans, plants, and animals. Phytochemicals found in Artemisia spp. include terpenoids, flavonoids, coumarins, caffeoylquinic acids, sterols, and acetylenes. Dietary flavonoids have been linked to reduced cell aging, lipid peroxidation, and cancer risks. Sterols, including plant sterols, play a significant role in reducing the plasma cholesterol levels. Essential oils from Artemisia plants contain volatile chemicals with antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties that contribute to their biological activity. This study aimed to elucidate the effective compounds of Artemisia plants and their medicinal benefits and biological activities.
