ANGELICA Angelica Archangelica |
Angelica essential oil is extracted from the plant Angelica Archangelica of the Umbelliferae family. It is sweet herbal smelling oil that has a spicy undertone and is also known as European Angelica. It is of medium viscosity, and is extracted from the rhizome, the seeds and the herb itself.
It is called Angelica, since it normally flowers on the 8th May, which is St Michael the Archangel's Day, and for this reason it is often planted in monasteries and is referred to as "Angel Grass".
This herb is included in the famous Chartreuse and Benedictine liqueur. When the Black Plague swept Europe, the herb was considered an antidote for it, and "Angelica Water" was taken up in a Royal Prescription and published by the College of Physicians when the plague swept London in 1665. It is also used to flavour gin, perfumes, and traditionally candied for cake decoration and confectionery.

The oil has a watery viscosity and is pale greenish-yellow in colour. The aroma is clear, light and peppery and gives a sweet, green top note to blends.
Although basil oil usually stimulates, in excess it can have a stupefying effect and should not be used during pregnancy or on children under 16 years. Since it can irritate a sensitive skin, it must be used with care on people with sensitive skins. It also has emmenagogue properties, so it must be avoided during pregnancy.
