This review article explores the antioxidant properties of essential oils extracted from desert-adapted plants, focusing on their potential therapeutic applications. Desert plants, known for their resilience in harsh environments, produce essential oils that play crucial roles in plant defence against biotic and abiotic stressors. These oils, rich in diverse bioactive compounds, have demonstrated significant antioxidant activity, which is instrumental in mitigating oxidative stress. This review article delves into various studies that have highlighted the efficacy of these oils in promoting wound healing, exhibiting antimicrobial properties, and offering anticancer benefits. Additionally, it discusses the influence of extraction methods on the oils' antioxidant capacities. Emphasizing the need for further scientific research, this review underscores the therapeutic potential of these natural antioxidants for enhancing health and preventing disease, advocating for more clinical trials to confirm their benefits in human health applications and other industrial applications.
