About angelica oil:

Angelica archangelica is native to Europe and Siberia, and is a member of the Apiaceae (umbelliferae) botanical family.

Angelica oil is steam distilled from the roots.

Historically, angelica oil was used to strengthen the heart, and generally stimulate the cirulatory and immune systems.
