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 and Chinese herbal medicine. Its applications have mostly focused on digestive, respiratory, and circulatory complaints. In some traditional herbal systems, angelica has been considered a "nervine"—a plant that calms the nerves or supports emotional well-being. This reputation is primarily due to its aromatic compounds, which are thought to have mild calming effects. However, there is no direct or substantial historical documentation specifically linking angelica to the treatment or support of "emotional sensitivity" as a clearly defined condition. The use of angelica for general nervousness, stress, or mood support is referenced in some herbal texts, but these claims are largely anecdotal and not supported by clinical studies. Modern scientific research has not validated angelica's efficacy for emotional or mood disorders, and its use for this purpose is not recognized in evidence-based medicine. Therefore, while there is some traditional precedent for using angelica as a mild calming agent, the evidence for its benefit in emotional sensitivity is weak and not well-substantiated.
