Kelussia odoratissma plant is a valuable plant native to Iran, especially the Zagros region. At present, the natural habitats of this species are limited to areas in Isfahan, Chaharmahal-Bakhtiari, Kohgiluyeh-Boyerahmad, and Lorestan provinces, where It grows in Isfahan province in the mountains of Shahan, Fardan, and also in the area Pashtkoh, Mogoi, Tara, Klose, Kahgan Sofli and Alia and Sebestan Valley area, which are considered as the most important habitats of this species in the country. In addition to being used in traditional medicine, a unique plant has a lot of non-medicinal value, including use in the food industry, fodder, economic income, and ecotourism of the region. Therefore, plant processing in the form of drying, packing, powdering, and extracting its extract and essential oil is common among Iranian people. Of course, considering the high importance of mountain celery and its introduction to the World Food Organization and the World Health Organization, it can play an important role in the lives of people worldwide. Therefore, this review tries to take a look at the composition, processing, and non-medicinal value of the medicinal plant Mountain cele.
