Detailed description
Angelica archangelica, a member of the Apiaceae family, is native to temperate regions of the northern hemisphere. Its root has been used for centuries for its beneficial effects in European and Asian medicinal traditions.
Angelica root is rich in bioactive compounds, including furocoumarins, essential oils (alpha-pinene, sabinene) and phenolics such as chlorogenic acids. These compounds confer antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, supporting cell protection against free radicals.
Angelica root is traditionally used to support digestive functions and promote intestinal comfort. It is also known for its role in joint and immune well-being.
