About Angelica Root

Angelica archangelica, commonly known as Garden Angelica, Holy Ghost, Wild Celery, and Norwegian angelica, is a biennial plant from the Apiaceae family, a subspecies of which is cultivated for its sweetly scented edible stems and roots.

During the 16 and 17th centuries angelica was combined with other herbs to make "Carmelite water", a medieval drink thought to cure headache, promote relaxation, and long life, and protect against poisons and witches' spells.

After the bacterial theory was proven in relation to the bubonic plaque of 1665 it was realized that Angelica had antibacterial properties. Some folks chew the dried root for its anti-viral properties. It has been shown to be effective against fungi such as Candida Albican which is a primary yeast infection that can be focal or systemic. It is effective against diseases of the urinary organs.
