Angelica (angelica archangelica)

Coriander (Coriandrum sativum)

About

Angelica (Angelica archangelica) is a large, aromatic biennial herb growing up to about 6½ ft (2 m), with ridged hollow stems, bright green divided leaves, and greenish-white flowers arranged in umbrella-like clusters (umbels).

Coriander (Coriandrum sativum), often referred to as cilantro in its leafy form, is a strongly aromatic annual that grows to about 20 in (50 cm). The finely cut upper leaves, small white or pink flowers, and round, beige seed pods (the “coriander seeds”) all have culinary uses.

Safety & precautions

Do not use during pregnancy or while nursing. Avoid if you experience heavy menstrual bleeding. Do not confuse European angelica with Chinese Angelica (Angelica sinensis), as they have different strengths and applications.

Essential Oil: Should not be taken internally without professional oversight. General Safety: Ask a qualified professional before taking coriander in medicinal amounts. Pregnancy: Consult a practitioner before taking more than food amounts.
