Mythology reveals that Archangel Raphael visited a monk in a dream to share that of the oil’s virtues. This comforting, clarifying, purifying aroma, known as "scent of the angels," is an uplifting scent that instills confidence and can help clarify emotions and supporting decisive action from a centered place.
Traditionally revitalizing, Angelica has been used as a culinary herb and as an aroma in meditation for balancing the higher chakras. Inhale or make a spritz to support renewing the auric energy field.

Angelica aids people who have an upset nervous system who urgently need to rebuild body and soul."
