Angelica archangelica, commonly known as Angelica Root, boasts a wealth of aromatic oils that contribute to its delightful, warming flavor profile. Energetically charged, this root has a traditional history of use as both an expectorant and carminative, and is frequently featured in liqueurs and digestive candies.
