Herbaceous Extracts and Etheric Oils of Herbs Covered by the Legislation in the Federal Republic of YugoslaviaTatjana Bodiroga Federal Ministry of Labor, Health and Social Policy, Belgrade (Federal Republic of Yugoslavia) Although the plenitude of aromatic herbs is inexhaustible, this paper provides a review of herbaceous extracts and etheric oils of just those herbs which are covered by the effective legislation in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Nevertheless, even in such a narrowed down selection of herbaceous extracts a great number of etheric oils are presented among which some of them have adverse effects on health. Beside those listed there are also many other, not studied sufficiently, nor yet discovered etheric oils. Their further study represents a true challenge for research scientists.
