We have carried out the extraction of the essential oils of the aerial part of the plant using the hydro-distillation technique which enabled us to reachan extraction efficiency of 0.585 %. The chemical composition of the essential oil was analyzed by GC/MS method therefore 35 components have been identified; the limonene (34.72 %), alphapinene (25.42 %), the β-pinene(8.59%), the α-Elemol (4.21 %) are the major components. The antibacterial activity of the essential oil has been measured against eight bacteria; the staphylococcus aureus is the most sensitive one; its diameter is 21 mm of inhibition. The antioxidant activity of the essential oil was evaluated using 2,2–diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) test which shows (IC50=58.6336 ± 0.7207)and the antioxidant power of reduction of iron (FRAP) shows (EC50=48.1936±0.5628)
