Abstract :In this paper, the concentrations of elemental contents insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Macro mineral; calcium insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Ca); and magnesium insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Mg);, trace elements; zinc insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Zn);, copper insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Cu); and iron insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Fe); and ultra-trace elements aluminum insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Al);, manganese insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Mn);, lead insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Pb); and nickel insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Ni); in some medicinal plants like dill insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Anethum graveolens L.);, clove insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Syzygium aromaticum);, cardamom insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Elettaria cardamomum);, black mulberry insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Morus nigra);, oak gall insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Quercus infectoria);, camomile insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Matricaria recutita L);, basil insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Ocimum basilicum);, peppermint insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Mentha x piperita);, ginger insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Zingiber officinale);, purslane insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Portulaca Oleracea L.);, thyme insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Thymus vulgaris L.); and cinnamon insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Cinnamomum verum);); were determined with High Resolution Continuum Source Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometer insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(HR CS-FAAS); by using the microwave digestion system. We found metal levels in investigating medicinal plants in the ranges: 0.18- 5.63 mg/g for Ca; 0.06- 1.37 mg/g for Mg; 0.01–0.03 mg/g for Al; 2.84 - 79.48 μg/g for Zn; 2.77–74.38 μg/g for Fe; 0.41 113.01 μg/g for Pb; 0.13–0.54 μg/g for Ni; 0.04 50.51 μg/g for Mn and 0.01–5.97 μg/g for Cu. The highest concentrations of the examined elements in the plants examined were found as follows: Ca in basil; Mg in purslane; Pb, Al and Zn in dill; Fe and Mg in ginger. Likewise, the lowest concentrations were found as follows: Pb in thyme; Zn in black mulberry; Cu in clove and Ni in cinnamon.
