Angelica warms the system
Angelica has a long history of use as a medicinal herb, in particular for the treatment of digestive disorders and problems with blood circulation. It is closely related to the Chinese herb Dong Quai . The fruit, leaf, and root of angelica stimulate digestion, help dispel gas and calm the nerves. Angelica is especially good when bloating or cramps are present.
Angelica is a good herb to add to treatments for colds, congestion and fevers.

 Angelica was associated with many Pagan festivals, and after the introduction of Christianity, the plant became linked with some archangelic patronage, according to legend Angelica was revealed in a dream by an angel to cure the plague. Another explanation for the name is that it blooms on the day of Michael the Archangel (May 8, oldstyle) and is on that account held to be a preservative against evil spirits and witchcrafts of spells of all kinds, being also called "the root of the holy ghost" | |
