**1. Introduction**

Traditional health cures in various societies have a long history dating back to discovery of primitive drugs during their battle against natural disasters, infections, maladies and provender's. Prehistoric discovered that certain foods had specific characteristics that can help individuals recover from illnesses and live a healthier life [1]. Natural products are not simply mishaps or results of the accommodation of nature but are the characteristic articulation of the increase in the intricacy of an organism [2]. There is ongoing methodology in development of innovative drugs for human diseases from plant origin. Several plants are used to provide treatment [3]. This is especially true in underdeveloped countries where traditional medicine is still used to provide basic health care. A single plant may contain many secondary metabolites with healing activities ranging from anti-glycation, antibacterial to diuretic [4].

Plants are an extraordinary source of drugs and numerous novels organically dynamic compounds particularly used in conventional prescription for management of numerous illnesses. Plants are said to be the most unpredictable substance storage facilities of unfamiliar biodynamic compounds with undiscovered potential for use in present-day medication [5]. Plants with therapeutic and aromatic qualities have been used for millennia and are still helpful in complementary therapies today. Herbs are utilized all around the world, however they are used more frequently in developing countries. Herbs have traditionally been the main route of medication delivery [6]. Numerous fragrant plants that grow in Nigeria have been identified as potential sources of essential oils (EOs) [7]. Due to their well-established usefulness, aromatic plants that yield substantial amounts of EOs can be utilized therapeutically to treat a range of diseases. Strongly fragrant aromatic components that are obtained from aromatic plants make up EOs, a chemical composition. EOs are complex blends of bioactive ingredients with a variety of structural kinds, such as mono-, di-terpenes, sesqui-, sulfur-containing, phenolic and phenylpropanoid compounds [7]. High levels of bacterial drug resistance to existing treatments and the exorbitant costs of recent generations of antibiotics may be overcome thanks to the effective antibacterial capabilities of EOs [8]. The vast array of bioactive elements in EOs interfere with different bacteria's defense mechanisms by interacting with their cellular enzymes or cell structures, which speeds up the death of microbial cells [9]. EOs and its constituents are used in fragrances, cosmetics, medicines, aromatherapy, dentistry, sanitary products, food preservatives, agriculture and additives, and natural therapies in addition to their remarkable antibacterial characteristics. Due to the billions of dollars in yearly earnings, EOs became a much more enticing topic for both academics and industry [10].
