Method: The yield of the organic and water extraction method assessed by using exhaustive extraction method, by steeping the plant in ethanol, water and hexane to extract all the chemical ingredients without heating to prevent destroying or changing the plant chemical constituents.

Results: the best aqueous and organic yields were in Bethlehem region (6.4%, 2.6 %), while the lowest aqueous and organic yields were in Qalqilya (4.96%, 1.16%).

Conclusion: We recommended the pharmaceutical companies; Bethlehem region as the best area for cultivation and collection Teucrium plant for manufacturing the best standardized pharmaceutical dosage forms also we recommended the researchers to use the Teucrium plant from this region for their scientific research.
