Irina Neta Gostin | Irinel Eugen Popescu
Plant species in the Lamiaceae family are known worldwide for their therapeutic potential, conferred in particular by the great diversity of essential oils they produce. Although much less known and cultivated than the “star” species of this family, <i>Salvia yangii</i> (formerly <i>Perovskia atriplicifolia</i>) presents special potential both medicinally and as an ornamental species due to its special abilities to withstand conditions unfavorable to other related species. This paper explores the specialized literature from both a bibliometric and comprehensive point of view, in order to systematize the existing information about this species from the last 28 years. <i>S. yangii</i> is a species with a rich array of bioactive compounds, such as terpenoids, diterpenoids, triterpenoids, phenolic compounds, and essential oils, offering promising therapeutic effects including antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective properties. Despite its significant potential, this species remains insufficiently studied and undervalued; further research is needed to fully understand its medicinal and ecological value, optimize extraction methods, and explore its broader applications in pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and eco-friendly solutions in phytoremediation.
