Origin: Croatia

Angelica is the European cousin of the more familiar dong quai. A graceful flowering plant related to carrots, dill, and fennel, angelica is found as far north as Nunavut and Lapland and as far south as Syria and South Carolina. The plant has an intense yet sweet aroma, more like carrots than like dill or fennel.

This member of the Apiaceae family grows in damp soil, near running water, and along woodland edges. Angelica's roots are aromatic and considered to have spicy, bitter, and warming energetics. Angelica root can be infused as tea, tinctured, and used as a flavoring in liquors.

Active Compounds: Phthalides, coumarins, phenolic acids, Z-ligustilide, bergapten, imperatorin, n-butylidenephthalide, β-phellandrene, and α-pinene.

Actions: Carminative, Digestive Bitter, Expectorant, Anti-spasmodic, and circulatory stimulant.

Indications: Angelica root is a versatile herb in traditional medicine, prized for aiding digestion (gas, bloating), supporting respiratory health (coughs, bronchitis), and boosting circulation. It is widely used in women’s health for menstrual cramps and menopausal symptoms like hot flashes.

Precautions:  Use caution if combining with other herbs that slow clotting, such as garlic, ginger, ginkgo, and Panax ginseng. Angelica may increase the risk of bruising and bleeding when combined with drugs like warfarin (Coumadin), aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), ibuprofen, and naproxen. The root contains furanocoumarins, which can cause severe skin irritation, dermatitis, or blistering upon exposure to sunlight or UV light. Avoid during pregnancy due to the risk of uterine stimulation and miscarriage.

Herbal Magick: Angelica root, often called the "root of the Holy Ghost" or "Archangel," is a potent herb in magical lore, revered for its protective properties against evil spirits, hexes, and negative energy. Associated with Archangel Michael, it is used for purification, breaking curses, and enhancing psychic abilities, often carried as a charm or sprinkled at entryways.
