%X The aim of this study was to investigate the chemical composition of the essential oils of ¡°Covid-Organics¡± of Madagascar (62% <i>Artemisia annua</i> and two other undisclosed medicinal plants) used as curative and preventive treatments of Covid-19, to identify its constituent species. The essential oils isolated by hydro-distillation from two samples (curative and preventive) were analyzed by GC-FID and GC-MS. These essential oils (curative and preventive) were mainly dominated by camphor (17.9% and 11.9%, respectively), spathulenol (4.8% and 11.8%, respectively), <i>¦Á</i>-acorenol (4.3% and 3.7%, respectively), (<i>E</i>)-<i>¦Â</i>-caryophyllene (3.4% and 4.2%, respectively), 1,8-cineole (3.1% and 3.6%, respectively), hexadecano&iuml;c acid (3.8% and 3.2%, respectively) and caryophyllene oxide (3.4% and 2.4%, respectively). From the chemical composition, two species were identified, <i>A. annua</i> characterised by camphor and <i>Cinnamomumcamphora</i> (Ravintsara) characterised by 1,8-cineole and sabinene. However, we were unable to identify the third species.
