Herbal Actions: Carminative, diaphoretic, expectorant, digestive tonic, emmenagogue
Medicinal Uses: Angelica contains a resin called Angelicin, which is known to stimulate the lungs, making angelica a wonderful expectorant remedy for chronic bronchitis, coughs, and colds. Its aromatic flavor and bitter quality allow it to be helpful in cases of colic and is often used in flavoring bitters. As an emmenagogue, angelica helps stimulate uterine contractions and ease menstrual cramping.
With a name referring to an angelic nature, this plant has been held in high regard, both as a medicinal healer of maladies and as a protective plant against evil spirits. Its uses go back to pre-christian times as it has been used in folk customs to welcome in the warmth of spring and summer in some eastern European country customs.
