Engelwurz Angelika Root Ätherisches Öl

Our organically crafted Angelica Root Essential Oil is steam distilled from the roots of the flowering Angelica archangelica biennial plant thoughtfully cultivated in France. Also referred to as Garden Angelica, Wild Celery or Norwegian Angelica, this essential oil has a has a very fine, delicate, rich earthy, green-herbaceous, extremely tenacious aroma with peppery top notes and clean spicy, musky back notes.

Often placed by early herbalists at the forefront of medicinal plants, Angelica is at once gently stimulating and simultaneously sedating. Its relaxant effect renders it as potent as Ginger in supporting digestion. Angelica was traditionally used, especially in Chinese medicine, as a natural restorative for its ability to soothe menopausal symptoms and negative moods as well as for its skin enhancing properties.

In ancient times, Angelica archangelica was believed to ward off evil spirits, and was used at pagan festivals. Its later association with angels, in its botanical name and in many European languages, is thought to derive from the fact that it came into flower on or around 8 May, the feast day of St Micheal the Archangel.
