Angelica
Traditional Usage An infusion is considered to be a good herbal remedy for colds, coughs, wind, colic and rheumatism. Angelica tea relieves stress and tension. A bag of the leaves immersed in the bath will provide a relaxing soak.
Uses Drink the tea to stimulate the appetite, relieve flatulence, and as a diuretic to stimulate kidney action. Also a general tonic for weakness and nervous headache.
