BACKGROUND
Originally from Belgium and France, Angelica essential oil has soothing aromatic qualities that help create a sense of stability. The herb itself has been used in religious practices for centuries as the Europeans believed that this oil was so powerful that it was of Divine origin and referred to it as the ‘oil of angels' or ‘holy spirit root'. During the years of the plague, stems of the plant were chewed and the sheets and roots were burned to purify the air.
Angelica is steam distilled from the seeds and roots of the plant and is in the Awaken, Forgiveness, Grounding, Harmony, Live with Passion, and Surrender essential oil blends.
