How Tarragon Works?

The most effective part of Artemisia dracunculus are the aerial parts. Estragole is the effective constituent of tarragon's essential oil (81%). The constituent estragole is a procarcinogen, but the risks associated with carcinogenesis are minimal. It is not directly hepatocarcinogenic or hepatotoxic, but needs activation by liver enzymes to reach full toxicity level. Tarragon seems to have antibacterial activity, but estragole is not responsible for this activity. There are confirmations that suggest that undiluted tarragon oil can damage the skin but a extract of 4% in petrolatum seems to be nonsensitizing and nonirritating.
