Throughout centuries of use, Angelica came to be regarded as a holy plant, and was widely known as "The Root Of The Gods". There is an old belief among the Laplanders, who chewed the root regularly, that Angelica "strengthens life". The root and seed are rich in essential oils, calcium, vitamin E and vitamin B-12.

For over a millennium, Angelica has been regarded as a powerful herb. Some people believed that it could guard them from wickedness. They made their children wear Angelica leaf necklaces to keep them safe from sickness and sorcery. Angelica roots were juiced and mixed with other herbs to produce what was known as "Carmelite Water". This mixture was thought to be a headache remedy and to assure long life.

In 1665, Angelica water, nutmeg and treacle were mixed and given to people suffering from the bubonic plague. This concoction was named "The King’s Excellent Plague Recipe" and was published by the College of Physicians in London. Later in the 17th century, Angelica was used to relieve colds and other respiratory disorders. It was also used to fight certain infections and increase vigor.

Today, Angelica is used for a variety of ailments. It helps clear mucus and is used to treat people with colds, asthma and bronchitis. It is also useful in treating indigestion and relieving menstrual cramps. And, due to its anti-inflammatory effects, Angelica may act to decrease the discomforts often associated with arthritis and rheumatism. *
