Angelica archangelica
(Parsley Family)

This herb is used for colic, gas, heartburn, high blood pressure, and to increase body temperature.

Traditionally angelica has been a valued addition to remedies for coughs, colds & fevers.

For respiratory conditions, the roots are most commonly used, but the stems and seeds may be used also.

All parts of the plant can be used to help relieve indigestion, gas, and to ease bowel and stomach spasms.

It can also be useful for increasing circulation by improving blood flow to the peripheral parts of the body. It is considered a specific treatment for Buerger's disease, a condition that narrows the arteries of the hands and feet.

Cautions: A potent emmenagogue, should not be used during pregnancy. May increase sensitivity to sunlight.
