    In this paper, the essential oils of the herb pair and two single herbs ESS and ZOR have been investigated for the first time.The information about the chemical constituents of essential oils is useful and necessary to the further pharmacological study of the recipe ESS-ZOR, which will certainly help us to utilize the recipe ESS-ZOR better.

    This article is suitable for publication.Many researchers will be interested in it. The aim of this research work is at systematically investigating of the volatile chemical components of ESS, ZOR, and the HP by the method of gas chromatography—mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and alternative moving window factor analysis (AMWFA).
