Angelica is a wonderful remedy for digestive complaints including acid reflux, flatulence, gastritis, stomach ulcers, hiccups, and low appetite, (can be useful in treating anorexia). It is also useful as a compress for lung ailments such as bronchitis or pneumonia, and influenza. It is a valuable oil for reducing uric acid levels in the bloodstream, making it a good remedy for gout and other rheumatic conditions. It is a relaxant that can help with nervous tension, and is also considered an aphrodisiac. 

Known in the Middle ages as the Angels’ Herb, Angelica Root has almost miraculous healing powers and is renowned for its diverse therapeutic values. For more information regarding Angelica Root’s benefits in support of the respiratory, digestive, and circulatory systems, please see:
