The article provides a recommendation on the rational use of natural resources, the distribution area and resource features of essential oil plants in the foothills and semi-desert zones of the Turkestan region. In the studied territories, 255 species of essential oil plants were identified and according to their reserves, these species are divided into 4 groups (A, B, C, D). The resources of promising essential oil plants were identified, the reserves of 10 essential oil species of flora of the studied region were determined. In the semi-desert flora, significant commercial thickets form Ferula foetida (Bunge) Regel, F. tenuisecta Korov., F. varia (Schrenk) Trautv., Alhagi kirghisorum Schrenk, A. pseudalhagi (M. Bieb.) Fisch., Matthiola stoddartii, Papaver pavoninum Schrenk., Artemisi cina Berg. ex Poljak., A. diffusa Krasch. ex Poljak., A. scoparia Waldst. et Kit., A. terrae-albae Krasch., A. turanica Krasch., A. tournefortiana Rchb, Lagochilus pungens Schrenk., Psoralea drupacea Bunge,
Salsola arbuscula Pall. This work serves as information on the stocks of raw medicinal plants and on the rational use of medicinal plant resources for the domestic pharmaceutical industry. Along with this, the current state of the natural resources of essential oil plants has been determined. The natural resources of some plant species are repeated in some places. In the future, the research results make it possible to plan and rationally use useful plants in the foothill and semi-desert zones of the Turkestan region
