Angelica
Essential Oil is a delicate oil extracted from the root of Angelica, a large 'fur covered' plant with
ferny leaves and umbles of white flowers. There are over 30 different types of Angelica, but Angelica
archangelica is the most commonly used medicinally. Known as the 'holy
spirit root' or 'oil
of angels', Angelica oil's healing powers were considered so strong as to be thought of Divine origin
by Europeans. Stems of the plant were chewed during the plague of 1660 to prevent infection; when burned, the
seeds and roots were thought to purify the air.
