Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Angelica archangelica, commonly known as angelica, has a long history of use in traditional European herbal medicine, including for digestive ailments such as bloating, indigestion, and occasionally for constipation. In folk remedies, the root and seeds have been employed as carminatives and mild laxatives, sometimes given to children in diluted preparations to help stimulate digestion and relieve mild cases of constipation. However, the evidence for its efficacy in treating constipation, especially in children, is almost entirely anecdotal or based on traditional usage rather than scientific studies.

There is a lack of robust clinical or pharmacological studies specifically evaluating Angelica archangelica for constipation in children. Most available information relates to its general digestive properties, supported by traditional texts and herbal compendia such as the German Commission E Monographs, which acknowledge its use for gastrointestinal complaints but do not specifically endorse it for pediatric constipation. While angelica contains compounds with potential spasmolytic and mild stimulant effects on the gastrointestinal tract, these findings are not specific to children nor to constipation as a primary indication. In summary, use of Angelica archangelica for childhood constipation is justified by tradition but lacks strong scientific validation.
