Angelica Archangelica Overview
Angelica archangelica, a perennial herb in the Apiaceae/Umbelliferae family, is characterized by its tall stature, typically reaching heights between 50-250 cm, and large, abundant leaves. Originating from the coastal regions of the North and Baltic Seas, this herb, also known as wild parsnip, has a notable history of use in culinary practices, traditional Chinese medicine, and as a flavoring agent in beverages and liqueurs. With its composition rich in essential oils, phytosterols, caffeic acid derivatives, and flavonoids, along with furanocoumarin compounds such as angelicin and imperatorin, Angelica archangelica is associated with various potential health benefits. These include antioxidant, anti-cancer, anti-fungal, anti-hypertensive, anxiolytic, and cognitive effects. Further research is required to fully elucidate its mechanisms of action and efficacy in treating different conditions. Angelica archangelica has Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) status in the United States.
