About Angelica

Angelica is a biannual herb, famous for its distinguished botanical, medicinal, and culinary features. It is marked by its impressive umbrella-like greenish-yellow or white flowers that appear in summer. 

Different portions of the angelica plant are used in culinary traditions because of their distinctive flavors and smell. In cakes, pastries, and confections, the stems are frequently candied and utilized as decorative accents. These candied stems, also referred to as "angelica candy," have a sweet and somewhat bitter flavor that enhances sweets. The plant's leaves are used as a flavoring component in liqueurs and bitters, giving the drinks a characteristic herbal and earthy note.

Angelica is well known for its digestive properties in traditional herbal medicine and is frequently used to treat digestive problems like bloating, indigestion, and stomach cramps. It is thought to contain diuretic qualities that aid in the body's detoxification process. Additionally, angelica has been used to reduce joint pain and inflammation brought on by illnesses like arthritis because of its reputed anti-inflammatory properties.

As a result of its expectorant characteristics, which aid in the liquefaction and elimination of mucus, angelica has also been used in herbal treatments for respiratory conditions like coughs, bronchitis, and asthma. The plant has been linked to relaxation and stress alleviation and is occasionally used as a mild sedative.
