OBJECTIVE: The chemical components of the essential oil from Cnidium monnieri (L.) Cusson were analyzed by GC-MS. METHOD: The essential oil was extracted from Cnidium monnieri (L.) Cusson by steam distillation, the components analyzed with the different kinds of capillary columns, the optimum separated and analytical conditions were researched, the amount of the components from the essential oil were determinated by normalization method. The separated components were identified by GC-MS. RESULTS: 50 components composed of about 86% of the total essential oil were separated and identified. CONCLUSION: The method is reliable and stable.
