Stories from Nature
Angelica is a woodland plant of the Umbelliferae family native to Northern Europe and North America that can grow over two meters tall. It is also called “Archangelica,” based on the legend that this plant was given to humanity by an archangel. As a result of this belief, in the 1500s, it was used as an infusion thought to prolong life and have miraculous effects, especially during the epidemics and plagues that frequently struck Europe.
Today, it is known for its numerous beneficial properties for the body and metabolism, and all of its parts—seeds, roots, leaves, and stem—are used. Angelica essential oil is used as a room fragrance and in cosmetics.
It offers benefits for anxiety, insomnia, agitation, and emotional trauma. It provides energy and soothes the spirit, which is why it is widely used in aromatherapy.
