Description
Reviews

Garden angelica is a highly esteemed remedy in many cultures, cultivated mainly for its aromatic root which is considered a very good tonic. In Chinese medicine, garden angelica ranks among the most important and most frequently prescribed medicinal plants.

In sage mixtures, it's often used for respiratory symptoms and it's also proven itself in aromatherapy. When fumigating with the garden angelica or its leaves, its dosage should be minded, and, perhaps, a less intense herb should be added as the heavy scent of the plant can be slightly overwhelming.

The candied stalks of the garden angelica (slightly outdated) are also an ingredient for fine confectioner dishes. All in all, it's a very impressive wild shrub that can reach up to 3m. It grows as a biennial or perennial plant that also tolerates harsh climate as it originates from Scandinavia.

The plant only blooms once and dies afterward. Most often, it, however, sows itself again.
It's mainly the fleshy roots that are harvested. The best harvest time for it are spring and autumn. The leaves and stalks are best harvested before the heyday and the seeds when they are fully ripened in September/ October. When harvesting the garden angelica, it's better to wear gloves as the sap contains Furanocoumarin that can evoke skin irritations through its touch.
