Synopsis

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

Angelica (Angelica archangelica) has a history of use in traditional medicine systems, particularly in Europe and Asia, where it has been utilized for a variety of ailments. In the context of hemorrhoids, traditional herbalists have sometimes recommended Angelica for its purported anti-inflammatory, vasodilatory, and soothing properties. Some historical texts and ethnobotanical sources mention its use in the form of infusions, topical applications, or as part of multi-herb formulas intended to ease discomfort associated with hemorrhoids. The rationale often relates to Angelica's reputed ability to improve blood circulation and reduce swelling, which are relevant to hemorrhoidal symptoms. However, there is little to no direct scientific research validating its efficacy for hemorrhoids specifically. Clinical trials or pharmacological studies focused on Angelica and hemorrhoids are lacking. Existing modern research on Angelica primarily explores its general anti-inflammatory and circulatory effects, but does not establish a clear or evidence-based link to hemorrhoid treatment. Thus, the use of Angelica for hemorrhoids is justified mainly by tradition and anecdotal reports, not by robust scientific evidence.
