July 2010, Essential oil of Angelica Root
Tue, 29/06/2010 - 11:14The oil I chose to write about this month is Angelica root, a great oil for helping to control
the Damp Heat of summer. In Chinese medicine Damp Heat can lead to digestive disturbances and fungal problems such as wet excema or rain scald. Angelica root is one of my favorite essential oils, it has been used by healers since at least the time of the Great Plague of London, so every good witch should have a bottle!

Angelica root (Angelica archangelica)
Angelica root is my number one oil, I love the fragrance and I love the oil's healing power. The fragrance is earthy and sweet, sharp and penetrative, with a touch of spice and a hint of green, plus a musky, river bottom undertone. The complexity of its bouquet tells us that Angelica root has a wide range of actions and connects with all 5 elements.
