Angelica Herb
Angelica Herb
arises out of which thin new growths on the outside which come tender and somewhat soft
leaves. Angelica looks like Berenklau (Heracleum sphonylium) and also has a leaf stem shoot that
arises from the plant that looks like a fig leaf (the leaves are not so large, and not so thick, but
greener and deeper cut) and is nearly the same.
The stems are strong, tall, and hollow. It is not mature in the first year nor has seeds. The root
strengthens itself with good air and earth and divides itself in three but rarely in two.
The seeds develop further up on the stem, as Levisticum officinalis or the plant Panacis, a
beautiful large and yellow-colored crown. The seeds hid themselves like the fragrant Barenclau
(Heracleum sphonylium). The seeds are connected with sun in the 6th degree in mercury with the
4th degree and moon two parts. Angelica has attributes to warm, divide, and to drive out problems
as a complete plant.
The root of Angelica is ruled by the sun with eight degrees of mercury and with two degrees of the
moon with two parts. (This is while mercury as a part of a planet along with the sun, but the moon
remains by and also on both shoulders hold water) also this from nine parts sulphur, a part of salt,
and two parts composed of mercury, all put together.
The stem combined with its parts is somewhat of less power than of the sun by this seventh part,
mercury three parts, and the moon by three parts.
Dig up the root in May when the moon is in Leo, in the eleventh mansion, and Mercury is in the
11th house. In the month when the sun is in the 28th degree of Leo, and the moon is in the same
sign, and Gemini stays in Virgo, then the herb should be collected. The seeds are collected in
September about the 10th, 11th or 12th day, when the moon is in Leo and remains in the 9th
mansion. Therefore to arrange an Arcanum, use oil and a little salt, this tastes sharp.

Also each evening use 12 drops (on the head), numbs and drives out vapors of the head, it
makes a clear face, drives away tinnitus or ear noises (put in the ear), and vertigo on the front of
the head.
The salt of the root is suitable from its moving nature and sharpness for the lungs and kidneys. It
cleanses abscesses of the lungs of either side and lets those (so it is in the essence from sulphur
resolved and evenings and use 9 drops in wine) and other growths.
Roots of Angelica
The roots are subject to Sagittarius and Jupiter. It is warm and dry in the 3rd degree. It has a very
friendly smell, sharp taste with a little bitterness. The roots, when cut, give off a thick yellow gooey
juice of a very strong smell and taste. The roots should be dug when the sun is in the 5th degree
of Cancer. Jupiter gives it a pleasant taste and has a good virtue, but Sagittarius gives it a sharp
or spicy taste. This is a pleasant plant that belongs to Cancer and the Moon.

extract. The previous extract taken from small leaves from Angelica in sugar and consumed, is
good for all poisons, dog bites, snake bites, unclean blood, pestilence, and spider bites.
The root cut green and fresh prepared, is cut thin, extracted in welsh wine or muscatel for four
weeks, and then sealed. Then follow and put again in a fresh vinegar or muscatel for fourteen
days, sealed, then afterwards pour together each time for eight days.
Lastly put these extracts together and seal them in a glass container. This first extract and also
the last three mixed have the same power as using the leaves. When the ground root is made into
an electuary [honey extract] it is good for inner cold diseases and for sweating, removing poisons
and a congested spleen. This electuary should not be used for an overheated liver (on this
account, use rosewater extract, lily extract, or night shade extract instead). If one is not to be
sweated, dont use it as this is used to increase sweating as, for the French disease [syphilis],
leprosy, uncleanness, generally for all poisons, and makes a person feel as good as a newborn.
In times of pestilence, fast each morning, then use with Hazelnuts, 2 or 3 hours after fasting and it
protects one for the rest of the day.
From this root, put in a soup (one should use only ounce while children should only take of
that) because it purges and stimulates the flow of the black gall, cleans the afterbirth, also blood
letting goes better. It also releases obstructed urine and brings on a defiant (sluggish) menses.
Stems of Angelica
The stems are subjected to Cancer and the Moon. It is cold and moist and to be used for all dry
diseases.
Leaves of Angelica
The leaves belong to Aquarius and Saturn. It has a medium energy and is cold and dry in the
second degree. It has a bitter taste, and smell is not unpleasant.

Flowers of Angelica
The flowers are ruled by Gemini and Mercury. It is of a neutral nature, more dry than damp for
cold and warm diseases. Pick it when the Sun is in the first degree of Virgo. Put the flowers in
good Benedictine oil for four weeks and put in the sun. Then take in a wine or [mett], or in spring
water or taken with an egg. This is good for colic, worms, parasites, caries, and for the mind to
increases sensitivity and memory.
When the flowers are pressed in sugar and consumed, it is good for poisons, pestilence, bad air,
uncleanness and shortness of the breath.
Distill from the flowers an extract and is for vertigo, exhaustion, pestilence, and all kinds of
poisons. When someone lies weak that he feels no life, one should pour this extract over the pit of
the heart, and then one will feel his heart strengthened.

Angelica Herb
The root, chewed and held in the mouth then swallowed a little at a time, drives out bad breath.
Some people put the green leaves into salads, because it resolves dampness, improves colon
health, clears bad breath, improves the breathing, and improves the appetite. The English use it in
salads and also makes a tasty soup, especially when they are from the wild tender plants.
The leaves of this plant are used for drying, polluted air and pestilence. Use the leaves in soups
and salads.
Angelica root is a precious medicine for strengthening a weak and cold heart. It serves especially
for exhaustion and vertigo. To make an electuary, one takes Angelica root powder with a clarified
honey. Take one part of the powdered rootlets and mix in 4 parts of honey. Such an electuary is a
healing medicine for all chronic and cold infirmities of the chest and lungs. It is named chest root
as a result of this ability to drive out chronic bad coughs and mucus as well as infirmities of the
chest and lungs.
Make a drink of Angelica root boiled in wine and sweetened with honey. Then use a small wine
glass full mornings and evenings. It warms the chest and lungs, drives out wheezing and heavy
breathing. It softens and loosens the sticky mucus that it may easily be coughed up. It also drives
out the chronic cough.
Another preparation: Angelica root 2 parts, white pimpinella 16 ounces, Beyelwurtz 4 ounces, the
uppermost tip of dry hyssop southern wood, anise seeds, fennel seeds, arum maculatum,
mountain mint, each ounce. Put all of these herbs in a bottle with a tight lid and put in 5 or 6
ounces of honey, 4 pounds of spring water. Then seal the bottle and put in a kettle of water, let it
boil for 4 hours, let it cool and then strain. Then put in a bottle, shake and drink warm 4 ounces
every morning and evening.
Another formula: Angelica root is cooked in 50 percent with and Hyssop tea. The roots are 2
ounces, the wine and Hyssop tea, each a half a measure. Then put in 10 pounds of sugar candy.
The following amounts are boiled together in a kettle for 4 hours and then stirred. Then take warm
4 ounces morning and evening. This is an excellent medicine for all infirmities of the chest that
comes from dampness and excess fluid as well as chronic coughs. It is also for conditions of
stabbing in the chest and the inner apostemen. Such is a drink for excess dampness of the
stomach, and drives away heartburn.
From daily experience we have learned that Angelica root has a special property to drive out all
poisons. Another formula is a special experiment against the pestilence, pestilential fevers, and
drives out other poisonous diseases. It also provides protection for the pestilence, pestilential
fevers and sweating diseases. Take ounce of Angelica root and mix it with ounce of good
theriac. Then boil a little milkwort juice without sugar in Angelica tea and a pound of Hieracium
pilosella vinegar or without this a common vinegar. To act as sweat promoting (diaphoretic), drink
it warm, then set it aside, put on covers and dont let any air in, then sweat for 3 hours. When you
dont have a good theriac on hand, then take the Angelica root powder, a [1/2 ounce] and add 4
ounces of distilled Angelica water, and 64 ounces of vinegar. Drink of the same and sweat for 3
hours. When one has no Angelica water, the same can be accomplished with blessed thistle
water, lemon balm, or veronica officinalis.
One can also drive our pestilent poisons with Polypodium vulgare powder and a measure of
Hieracium pilosella vinegar, or drink with warm wine vinegar and sweat for 3 hours as above.

To provide protection from poisonous epidemics a person should chew on a small piece of
Angelica root, and hold it in his mouth when he goes out in public and swallow a little at a time.
This powder in a good strong rose or Rumex acetosa water in the summer and with a good strong
wine in the winter time. This medicine taken mornings while fasting protects against poisonous
epidemics through the grace of God.
In the same way the root provides protection against poison when extracted in a strong wine
vinegar. It is then taken in a small amount early in the mornings. It is also used on a small sponge
and held to the nostrils. The Angelica root powder used morning s on an empty stomach with a
little bread and vinegar protects one from this epidemic.
Another good healing medicine for the pestilence is thus prepared: take on pound of Angelica root
crushed juniper berries, cinnamon bark, galangal root, Hieracium pilosella, each a half pound, a
good white wine, strong wine vinegar, Angelica water from the root and herb each 16 ounces, and
3 ounces of pimpinella root conserve. Then mix all of these together put in a sealed bottle and
leave in a double boiler for 3 hours under a soft fire. Then let it cool and strain through a clean
cloth. Then preserve this drink in a well-sealed glass to protect a person against epidemics. Then
give up to a gallon warm, allow him to lie down and let him sweat for 3 hours, then the pestilence
will be removed through sweating and urination. For daily protection from poisoning take a
spoonful each morning.
For a good powder formula form Angelica roots to protect from the pestilence: Take 24 ounces of
Angelica root, and 8 ounces each of the following master wort root, gentian, tormentil root,
dictamnus albus, valerian root, wormwood, and armenischen bolus. Grind each of these herbs to
a fine powder and pass through a fine sieve. Keep this powder in a small sack. When there is
great thirst, one should take 16 ounces of blessed thistle or veronica officinalis and a spoonful of
vinegar. Take a sip of this to promote sweating.
For a good electuary against the pestilence, take 6 ounces of Angelica root and 2 ounces each of
tormentil root, white dictamnus albus root, one and a half ounces of terrae figellatae From
Schlesien and to make the armenishen bolus of one half both 24 ounces and 8 ounces of
masterwort, and white pimpinella root. Grind all these herbs to a powder and put them through a
sieve and put this mixture into 3 quarts of a good aromatic theriac. Mix well and grind in a mortar
and make into Angelica syrup thick enough for a firm electuary.
To make the golden eye, take a third part of this with a third Angelica oil and make a red cone out
of it and it becomes a precious and recommended electuary. It is used for the pestilence and all
such poisons. It takes one ounce weight, as such from the Golden Eye Electuary, with a pleasant
distilled water to sweat out poisons.
A good recommended powder against the pestilence: take 32 ounces of angelic root and one
ounce each or mountain mint, masterwort root, scamony root. Make a pure powder and use one
ounce with a pleasant water.
The ground powder of Angelica root serves to almost all inner infirmities, especially for pleurisy
with the sticking pains in the sides. It is to be used in the beginning as protection. It serves to help
on bone fractures, consumption of the lungs and drives out chronic coughs and lung diseases. It
calms colic in the body and colon, releases urinary retention and leaking of the urine, it furthers
the menses and helps to further a delayed birth, heals tumors and the Blast., urine colic, and
especially calms afterbirth pains. For the previous infirmities, it requires at one time one ounce

with wine, or another pleasant drink. Also one would want to drink from the root of Angelica and
boil with wine or Mead when the disease appears.
A half an ounce of the powder with Angelica water stimulates birthing.
Angelica root ground and taken in1 ounce in wine kills worms and drives them out. The same
form as prepared previously drives out all poisons from stings, bites, poisonous animals such as
scorpions and snakes.
If one ingests poisons and wants protection, uses the power of the following medicine: take on
and a half pounds of Angelica root, dictamnus albus, buchwurtz, on white dictamnus albus, white
pimpinella root, valerian root, masterwort, each one ounce, armenischen bolus, the correct terrae
sigillantae each a half a pound. Make these herbs into a clean powder and put it through a fine
sieve and store in a leather sack. To quench extreme thirst, one should take of the powder take
one ounce and the same amount of a good theriac with half wine and half Scabiosa tea. The use
of this as a drink that will drive out poisons the same day. When this medicines it taken, it drives
out the pestilence when sweating for an hour or so.
Angelica root boiled in wine and water heals inner injuries and consumption that comes from
bruising or falls. It also separates out the coagulated blood and drives it from the body. This with
wine or Artemisia vulgaris water that is boiled and is rubbed and drunk warm, heals not only the
coagulated blood, it also drives out the coagulated milk.
Angelica root boiled in wine and taken warm morning and evening each time a small wine
glassful.
When a person is shot or stabbed but not to death, the following is a wound drink that helps even
thought the colon is stabbed. I have had 30 years experience. Take the tame or wild Angelica
leaves on and a half handful, and a handful or each giessfuessel, levisticum, santicle, and a half
full of each of ground ivy, prunella vulgaris, ackeleyenkraut, schatheil, sunflower leaf, and
hieracium pilosella, and the rest each a half ounce of mummy, levisticum, Angelica root and
tormentill. Take the herbs and cut up small, put in a tin vessel, and further take 3 quarts of sugar
and scatter in good wine and fresh spring water, each a half a measure, and seal in bottle and put
in a kettle with boiling water for 4 hours in a gentle fire and allow it to cool. Should one use this
form, use 1 ounce or 3 ounces warm morning and evening. One should also use it in wine of the
tame or wild Angelica herb. One should also use the herb in foods for taste as well as its healing
properties.
One should understand that from the daily use of Angelica root, it heals unnatural wounds that
break out from painful tumors, outbreaks and sores and other problems such as form old rags,
work, flies, or sorcery. From bad situations one can find healing through natural means. Use the
wound drinks for healing external injuries. Then one should also prepare: take a handful of each
Angelica leaves tame and wild, Scabiosa, St. Johns wort, Hemlock, and half a handful of
Santicle, Ground Ivy, Widerton, Ononis spinosa or Plantain, Artimesia vulgaris, 8 pounds of good
fine sugar, 1 part fresh spring water and half part of good white wine. Cut all the herbs into small
pieces and put into a large tin container with the sugar. Then put the water and the wine into the
container. Like above, let stand for four hours in a kettle of boiling water. Then let it cool and bottle
it, but not before it is strained through a cloth. Then give to the injury-prone people every morning
and evening 3 ounces warm. It also has a wonderful operation and also can be used as a plaster.

When one is injured from unnatural spiritual events use: Angelica root 3 pounds, Mistletoe from a
Hazel tree-Medlar, 1 pound, Artemisia vulg each of half a handful to put together, then cut them
up and put in a towel and put in a drink for the injury prone, that works for not only spiritual injuries
but those that have taken other unnatural things by mouth and are removed through the stool.
One ounce of Angelica root powder drunk with white wine, strengthens and warms the cold
operation of the liver, and loosens up the congestion of the limbs.
Angelica root put in the mouth when fasting is retained in the mouth. It warms and strengthens the
head and brain, and protects the elderly and cold people against strokes.
Angelica root powder, take 1 ounce at the onset of fever drunk in a warm wine, drives out a fourday fever. For those who need a purge, take an ounce of this root with Cinquefoil water.
When a person has snakes or other poisonous worms, that comes from unclean drinking water,
goes in the body and is driven out by the following medicine: take Angelica root and horse radish
of equal parts, grind into a powder and put through a small strainer.
Take a spoonful of this mixture, four hours before meals in mornings for four mornings. Use this
sipping in a warm glass of wine. It drives out parasites and other worms by force quickly either
from the mouth or the stool. I have used this medicine to drive out parasites or Salamander, and
then three frogs from a female. It is also an important powder for the pestilence and poisons.

vulg, Geissuessel, Aegopodium, St Johns wort, Hemlock and leaves of Birch mistletoe, Rue,
Ground ivy, Ononis spinosa and Origanum. All of these herbs must be fresh and green, cut into
small pieces. Then mix with 16 ounces of fresh unsalted butter and 24 ounces of fresh olive oil,
and a pound of good wine. One should put this all in a stone container and put it in the sun for
one to fourteen days as an extract. Then put it in a kettle or pan and put it over a coal fire to boil,
until the wine and the juice of the herbs are extracted. Then combined with butter and olive oil,
and then strain through a towel, while it is still warm. While cool, press out, and add a powder of
silver and gold, then press through a fine sieve.
Put these together and put over a mild cool fire to boil, until it becomes thick and soft enough to
become a plaster. One should therefore mix 3 pounds of Gunni opopanea and 2 pounds each of
Gummi Armoniae, Gummi serapin, and the salve liquid and put in vinegar and boil until there is a
nice thickness: when it is well mixed add melted wax, turpentine, each 12 pounds then resin or a
soft pitch, 8 pounds of each. When these pieces are completely dissolved, add 4 pounds Juniper
berry oil, then put in the rest of the powder: 4 pounds ANGELICA root and 3 other pounds of black
Agstein, 2 pounds rubbed white Agstein, one and a half pounds each of Mastic gum, Rosemary,
Aloe patick, and 1 pound each Gulden widerthon, and red and white powdered coral. Mix these
well with St. Johns wort oil and make a thick plug. This plaster serves not only for external
injuries; it also helps on wounds from guns and sharp objects, and would be called Emplaster ex
Angelica, or an English plaster.
Angelica leaves from the tame and wild varieties serve to treat all old (chronic) diseases such as
cancer and fistula. Use the leaves boiled in water and wine. This can be used to wash and
cleanse, furthers healing and makes fresh flesh (healthy).
It is also serviceable for sweat baths, cold dampness and sweats out problems. It also works well
for steam and hip bathes. It warms the cold uterus and furthers a late menses and reduces
uterine pains.

wine and let remain for 1 year before drinking. This wine is good for wheezing, breath, and all cold
infirmities of the chest, lungs, and sides. It stimulates the urine and menses. It serves to remove
pain of uterine colic, helps bed wetting and protects against afterbirth pains, uterine colic and
therefore against all infirmities. It also works like inner uses of Angelica root as previously
described.
Some also use: they take dry roots and cut and grind roughly, and according to your taste, put in
strong or weak wine, and as much as you desire in the autumn in fresh apple juice as it comes
from the wine press, use as much as you want. Use a third part, boil and remove the foam then
leave over night, and in the morning strain through a woolen sack and put into a container, then
pour on two or three times the amount of sweet apple cider and leave for four years. Then seal
the container to retain the wine for emergency thirst, then use as long as it tastes fresh. It should
last a long time.
Others take Angelica root, cut it roughly, put it in a small flax sack in a container between wood
ashes, or Hazelnut wood chips and fill the container with good sweet apple cider. Take a third of
this and let it remain empty, fill it with boiled apple cider for four years and preserve as previously
described.
Hieronymus Tragus, my teacher, he prepared it for the pestilence and other poisons; take dried
Angelica root of 6 pounds and white anise root a third of a pound, 2 pounds of Blessed thistle, and
a half part each of Tormentill, Masterwort, and 6 ounces each of Dictamnus albus root and 1
pound each of St. Johns wort, Juniper berries (bruised), Wood betony, Ginger root, also 8 ounces
each of Butterbur root, Verbena, Calamus root, Galenga root, rue, Bugloss flowers, Borage
flowers. All roots are cut up small and roughly ground up, they should be cut alone, and then the
blooms can be cut up and everything mixed together, then put in a twenty part container with
Hazelnut wood chips, and fills with good apple cider and leave for four years.
After 6 months remove the plant material and let stand for 3 more years, and helps as
previously described. Whoever consumes this wine daily protects against the pestilence, poisons,
or cold unhealthy foods such as cold fish, cucumbers, melons, poisonous mushrooms or similar
poisons (cold foods). If one has a suspicion that he is being poisoned, one should take this for a
year or so that one will not be injured. It also removes constipation, increases urination, cleans the
kidneys and bladder, cleanses melancholic blood, and helps remove poisons of the French
disease [syphilis], protects the blood from fermentation and is a healing drink that comes form the
French cure.
Another formula that serves women that would clean the menses; take 3 pounds of Angelica root,
1 pound of Parsley seeds, 8 ounces each of Mountain mint, Dictamnus albus, Puligemum, each of
1 ounce of Thyme, Erdkiffer, Chamaepytus, and a half ounce of Cinnamon, Indian spikhard. The
Angelica cut up and grind roughly, mix the other pieces together and put it with Hazelnut wood
chips or other wood chips as useful in a fourteen part container and fill the container with good
apple cider and leave for four years. I have used this wine several times prepared for a noble
woman, whose menses was never right, and when the menses was come to time, she comes with
such suffering and spasms of the back and the body. Those of a gentle nature such of children
can benefit and daily use of this wine will give constant help. It will bring the regular monthly
female cycle right without pain. This is also a home treasure as described by other women and
shared with others.
Guilielmus turnerus, the medical doctor used this formula for suffering, bloating and other
infirmities of the spleen and other wisdom that he has used and prepared and used for years: take

Tamarisk wood bark, and 2 pounds each of Coppers root, small and Lafte nesselfarn, Beyelwurtz,
and one pound of Cinnamon, and 8 ounces of Hieracium pilosella. All of these herbs should be
cut small and in a 16 part container with wood ashes. Put the same with apple cider and leave for
4 years. This wine is good for stoppage of the kidneys and bladder; it moves the urine, removes
kidney stones and cleans the kidneys and bladder from mucus that causes stones.

The root or the stalks candied are reckoned very good, being eating in the morning, to prevent
infection. They are also useful in cold diseases of the lungs, and take off a stinking breath.

Take of the extract of the roots of Angelica and contra-yerva, each one quince; of extract of
liquor three drams; of flowers of sulphur, sublimed with myrrh, five drams; of oil of cinnamon
eight drops; of fine sugar twice the weight of all the ingredients; with the mucilage of gum
tragacanth, made in scordium, water, make lozenges. See Dr. Hodges, for the prevention of the
plague, in his book of The London Pestilence.

eases all pains and torments coming of cold and wind, so that the body be not bound; and taken
with some of the root in powder at the beginning, help the pleurisy, as also all other diseases of
the lungs and breasts, as coughs, phthysic, and shortness of breath; and a syrup of the stalks
do the like. It helps pains of the colic, the strangury and stoppage of the urine, procures
womens courses and expels the after-birth, opens the stoppings of the liver and spleen and
briefly eases and discusses all windiness and inward swellings.
The decotion drunk before the fit of an ague, that they may sweat (if possible) before the fit
comes, will, in two or three times taking, rid it quite away; it helps digestion, and is a remedy for
a surfeit. The juice or the water being dropped into the eyes or ears helps dimness of sight and
deafness; the juice put into the hollow teeth, eases their pains.
The root in powder, made up into a plaster with a little pitch, and laid on the biting of mad dogs,
or any other venomous creature, doth wonderfully help. The juice, or the water dropped, or tents
wet therein, and put into filthy dead ulcers of the powder of the root (in want of either) doth
cleanse and cause them to heal quickly, by covering the naked bones the flesh; the distilled
water applied to places pained with the gout, or sciatica, doth give a great deal of ease. The wild
Angelica is not so effectual as the garden; although it may be safely used to all the purposes
aforesaid.
Angelica Cultivation
Angelica was originally found in Europe and Asia. It is cultivated in Eastern Europe. In a guide
to popular herbs its growing conditions are described as follows:
Best climate and site is Zones 6 9, full sun or partial shade. Thrives with little attention but
needs moist conditions.
The ideal soil conditions are rich, cool damp garden soil; pH 6.0-6.7.
Growing guidelines: Angelica seeds need light to germinate. When sowing, just press them
into the soil surface and leave uncovered. Indoors, sow seed in early spring in peat pots placed
in plastic bags in the refrigerator; in 6-8 weeks, place in bright, indirect lit at 60 degrees
Fahrenheit. Or sow seeds outdoors in spring or summer, preferably where plants will grow, as
Angelica transplants poorly. Ideally, sow three to four seeds in a cluster about 3 feet apart and
thin to the strongest seedling.
Angelica herb will self seed. Angelica can also be grown to maturity in a container. Ideally plant
it in a 10-inch pot filled with rich compost and either sow direct or set one young plant in the
middle. Water regularly and apply liquid manure at 10- to 14-day intervals as soon as roots
show at the drainage hole.
Harvesting and storing: Collect small stems the first summer then harvest roots in autumn.
Pick stems and leaves in spring of the second year. Harvest the ripe seeds before the fall, dry
them and store in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
Parts used: Leaves, stems, seeds, roots.
Culinary uses of Angelica include leaves eaten as a vegetable; leave stems candied for cake
decorations; stewed for jam. The dry roots can be used for a tea.
