%X This review provides a comprehensive overview of the phytochemistry, medicinal properties, and biological activities of the <i>Artemisia</i> species. <i>Artemisia</i> species exhibit a wide range of morphological and phytochemical diversity, showing promise for the treatment of various diseases in humans, plants, and animals. Phytochemicals found in <i>Artemisia</i> spp. include terpenoids, flavonoids, coumarins, caffeoylquinic acids, sterols, and acetylenes. Dietary flavonoids have been linked to reduced cell aging, lipid peroxidation, and cancer risks. Sterols, including plant sterols, play a significant role in reducing the plasma cholesterol levels. Essential oils from <i>Artemisia</i> plants contain volatile chemicals with antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties that contribute to their biological activity. This study aimed to elucidate the effective compounds of <i>Artemisia</i> plants and their medicinal benefits and biological activities.
