Description
Energetic Properties: This Angelica Root Essential oil has a deep, earthy vibration and seems to bring things inward, connecting us deeply to all aspects of our psyche including our core essence. It is used as a shamanic medicine by the Saami of Lapland. When you smell this oil and tune into the different parts of yourself, you can feel it strengthening the subtle bodies. Its protective strength can be very useful when doing any form of shadow work. Its grounding properties are well known. I (Cathy) was first introduced to it by my herbal teacher in France who told me to put a drop on the bottom of each foot in the mornings, I remember being blown away by how grounded I suddenly felt. It was as if I had suddenly reconnected to the earth. This grounding energy brings courage and direction and helps reduce stress and nervousness.
Smell: Very unique aroma with a hint of earth, pepper, spice and wood.
Perfumery Note: Base note.
Safety: Known to be photosensitizing. Do not apply to the skin and go out in the sun.
Main Chemical Constituents: Alpha-pinène, Delta-3-carène,, Beta – Phellandrène, Alpha-phellandrène, Limonène
Adulteration and quality: A review of the literature did not reveal any research suggesting adulteration is a common phenomenon. We are confident that our distiller in France does not adulterate his essential oils.
