Angélique officinale
Angelica archangelica
Angelica archangelica, commonly known as angelica or Norwegian angelica, is a traditional medicinal plant with roots in European and Northern Asian herbal practices. It has been used for various ailments such as digestive issues, respiratory problems, and menstrual disorders, though specific traditions vary widely. Scientific evidence suggests that Angelica archangelica contains a rich profile of coumarins but shows less antioxidant activity compared to other plants like those dominated by flavonoids. A multi-2D LC × LC method analysis revealed promising results with moderate antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory potential, antifungal effects against wheat pathogens, and herbicidal activity. Notably, participants showed significant improvements in daytime voids and IPSS storage subscore after 6 weeks of supplementation, though trends towards reduced nocturia were observed. Safety concerns are minimal; no major issues have been recorded. There is also no evidence to suggest drug interactions with Angelica archangelica.

Ce que dit la science
- L'angélique d'archange a montré un profil métabolique distinct riche en coumarines, mais ces dernières ont apporté moins d'activité antioxydante que les profils dominés par des flavonoïdes dans les autres plantes étudiées.
- La méthode LC × LC multidimensionnelle a fourni une augmentation de 91 % de la capacité des pics par rapport à LC × LC pour l'analyse de cinq plantes médicinales européennes.
- L'huile essentielle d'Angelica archangelica a montré une activité antioxydante modérée, un potentiel anti-inflammatoire prometteur, des effets antifongiques contre les pathogènes du blé, une action herbicide et a conservé une composition chimique désirable malgré la pollution du sol.
- Participants showed significant improvements in daytime voids and IPSS storage subscore, along with better QoL after 6 weeks of Angelica archangelica supplementation.
