Angelica (Angelica
archangelica)
Is referred to by the German people as the ‘oil of
angels’. This oil is often used in trauma therapy. Angelica,
either singly or as part of a blend, seems to weaken the power of
traumatic memories. The event still happened and the memory is still
there, but the devastating effect on the body and the mind are greatly
minimized. This function is probably related to Angelica’s
ability to aid the liver by discharging toxins. The liver -according to
the Chinese - is the seat of anger. Also use for anorexia, bruises,
colds, colic, coughs, flatulence, indigestion, menopause, pre-menstrual
tension and rheumatic conditions.
Therapeutic Properties: Anti-coagulant, antiviral, calming, expectorant, sedative, stomachic,
tonic.
Application: Appropriate areas on feet; directly on areas of concern; diffused.
Aromatic: Very calming and supportive but does not smell very good by itself -
wonderful in a blend.
Contraindications: Avoid if diabetic or pregnant and avoid direct sunlight after use.
