Arnica Montana is native to Europe, has long been used medicinally, but the effectiveness of this use has not been substantiated.

From the 10th century on, angelica was cultivated as a vegetable and medicinal plant, and achieved popularity in Scandinavia in the 12th century and is used especially in Sami culture. Angelica is a shamanic medicine among the Saami or Laplanders.
Archangelica comes from the Greek word "arkhangelos" (=arch-angel), due to the belief that it was the archangel Michael who told of its use as a medicine.
Angelica archangelica roots are among the most common botanical used in gin distillation, often used in concert with juniper berries and coriander as a chief aromatic characteristic for gin. They are also used in absinthe, aquavit, and bitters, in addition to culinary uses such as jams and omelettes.
