(Angelica archangelica)
(english version)
Known as the “holy spirit root” or the “oil of angels” by the Europeans, angelica’s healing powers were so strong that it was believed to be of divine origin.
From the time of Paracelsus, it was credited with the ability to protect from the plague.
The stems were chewed during the plague of 1660 to prevent infection. When burned, the seeds and roots were thought to purify the air.
