The Benefits Of Angelica Root Oil

There are many medical components and properties of angelica root oil. Known in botanical circles as angelica archangelica or Angelica Officinals, this plant is a herb with a subtly spicy and sweet aroma. Found to be indigenous to parts of Africa and first discovered in the 16^th century, this plant can be used for a myriad of issues. Due to so many amazing properties that are attributed to this plant, it can be used to aid digestion, strengthen the immune system, and promotes urination and perspiration, among many other abilities.

Digestive Aid

Food grade angelica root oil helps to promote digestion by acting as a aid to the digestive juices. This is a great tool for those who don't always have the best diets and find that they suffer from cramping, irregular bowel movements, or indigestion. It helps to promote the necessary movement of consumed food as it moves through the digestive tract and helps the intestines.

Aids Anxiety

If you suffer from constant nervousness or anxiety, this oil could be a great aid for you. Historically, it has been used to help those who have nervous afflictions. It has a dual effect as it can act as a stimulant and a relaxant at the same time. It provides the necessary sedated effect to those nerves that are constantly at the mercy of hyperactivity while also providing needed alertness to the body.

Aids Cough And Asthma

This oil can be used as a bronchodilator and has been used for centuries to help those who suffer from respiratory issues such as chronic cough or asthma. The oil can be rubbed directly on the chest, where it then is absorbed by the skin and enters the blood stream. From there it provides assistance to the lungs and makes it easier and less taxing to take deep breaths. You can even put a bit of the oil in a diffuser or a humidifier and inhale it naturally as it fills the air for a less immediate effect.

Promotes Urination

If you have a health condition that results in the excess retention of water, this oil could be an excellent choice for you. Those who are suffering from hypertension, obesity, arthritis or rheumatism will likely find a bit of relief from this oil. As it's a natural diuretic it can increase the frequency of urination and help to flush toxins from the system. Many health conditions are only further perpetuated by the presence and build up of toxins. This will help properly rid them from your body.

Aids Menstruation

Menstruation can be incredibly painful for those who have strong or heavy periods. Sometimes this can be caused by obstructed menstruation. As an emenagogue, angelica root can provide ease and symptom relief to those with excruciating period pain. Symptoms can often take the form of nausea, headaches, severe cramping and fatigue. Dealing with this on a consistent basis every single month is excessive and symptoms should be curbed whenever possible.
