Angelica (Angelica archangelica) is a large umbelliferous plant that often grows near rivers or in damp, lightly shaded soil. We find these medicinal plants eminently poetic in spring, with their elegant habit and beautiful umbels (totally subjective opinion from an herbalist).
Originally from Scandinavia, the first uses of ‘angel weed’ in phytotherapy date back to the 12th century. Renaissance doctors nicknamed it the ‘Root of the Holy Spirit’ because it was reputed to prevent and relieve a wide range of ailments.
In aromatherapy, its essential oil is known for its digestive and anxiolytic properties. We are delighted to now offer you a hydrosol made from organic Angelica roots grown and distilled in France using spring water.
Rare and very fine, with its sweet, balsamic scent, Angelica archangelica hydrosol is renowned for the following properties:
- Digestive and eupeptic: tonic for gastric secretions
- Carminative: relieves bloating and aerophagia
- Mild antispasmodic for menstrual cramps
- Analgesic: helps restore movement (after an accident or in cases of inflammatory pain)
- Anti-stress: Angelica root is known to relieve stress and anxiety, while also having a sedative effect.
- Harmonising & balancing the nervous system: soothing & general tonic, it is useful in cases of physical and nervous fatigue.
