GCMS is normally used for direct analysis of component existing in traditional medicines and medicinal plants. A knowledge of the chemical constituents of plants is desirable not only for the discovery of therapeutic agents, but also because such information may be of great value in disclosing new sources of economic phytocompounds for the synthesis of complex chemical substances and for discovering the actual significance of folkloric remedies. Hence in the present study we selected a traditional medicinal plant Commiphora wightti Arnott belonging to the family Burseraceae found from northern Africa to central Asia. Traditionally the plant is used to treat rheumatism, obesity and atherosclerosis and has very subtle and penetrating qualities and because of this is considered a yogavahi, meaning that it is often employed specifically to carry other substances deep into the tissues but scientific relevance behind this is still unknown. Thus further studies can be conducted to investigate the unexploited potential of Commiphora wightti. Eight compounds were identified and they were reported as dibutyl phthalate, Phthalic acid, 1,2- benzenedicarboxylic acid, Bis (2- methyl propyl) ester, Diisooctyl phthalate, Trans-Geranylgeraniol, Thunbergol, 6-epi-shyobunol
