Angelica Root CS (Wild harvested)

Angelica Root CS (Wild Harvested) (Angelica archangelica) is one of the most revered herbs in European herbal traditions. Its impressive name — “archangelica” — reflects the medieval legend that the Archangel Michael revealed this plant as a cure for plague. Native to northern Europe and Scandinavia, angelica has been a cornerstone of Nordic, German, and French herbalism for centuries.

Flavor and Aroma

Angelica root has a complex, aromatic flavor that combines earthy, musky, celery-like notes with subtle sweetness and a warm, peppery finish. The aroma is rich, resinous, and immediately recognizable. It is a distinctive herb that adds depth and complexity to any formulation.

Traditional Uses

Angelica root has been used in European herbal medicine since the Middle Ages. It is traditionally associated with supporting digestive comfort, warming the body during cold weather, and promoting overall vitality. Angelica is a key ingredient in many famous European herbal liqueurs, including Chartreuse, Benedictine, and various Scandinavian aquavits. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, a related species (Angelica sinensis, or dong quai) is one of the most important herbs for women’s wellness.

How to Use Angelica Root

Use one teaspoon per 8 ounces of water. Simmer on low heat for 10 to 15 minutes for a warming decoction. Angelica blends well with gentian, licorice, and fennel in digestive formulations. It also works in tinctures, bitters, and herbal liqueur recipes.
