Exploring the anti-inflammatory properties of garden angelica essential oil


A study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food found that the essential oil extracted from garden angelica (Angelica archangelica) plant has potent anti-inflammatory properties. In the study, the anti-inflammatory properties of garden angelica essential oil were explored in a lab trial.

  • A team of researchers from Italy looked at the anti-inflammatory potential of garden angelica essential oil using a cell model.
  • The research team induced inflammation in cells by treating them with lipopolysaccharides.
  • They used non-toxic concentrations to treat for anti-inflammatory capacity.
  • The results of the study showed that garden angelica essential oil caused cell death and necrosis at high doses in the cell model used.
  • In addition, garden angelica essential oil reduced the levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells.
  • It also reduced inflammation in endothelial and intestinal epithelial cells.

In conclusion, the findings of the study indicate that garden angelica essential oil may be used as a natural remedy for fighting inflammation.
