Angélica received this name in medieval Europe, where it was believed that an angel revealed its properties during a plague epidemic. It arrived in Brazil through Portuguese folk medicine and was absorbed by Umbanda as a high vibration herb.
In the traditional garrafadas of Central Brazil, the raizeiro masters recognized in the knotted shape of the root the living metaphor of firmeza: the capacity to tie knots in adversity and remain standing even in arid lands.
In Umbanda, angélica is one of the most used herbs in Oxalá line fumigations precisely because it does not agitate the field. It elevates without shaking.
