Precautions:

Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Angelica may not be safe when taken by mouth during pregnancy. Its suggested that angelica can cause uterine contractions, and this could threaten the pregnancy.

There isnt enough information about the safety of taking angelica if you are breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side, and dont use it.

Toxicity studies:

Angelica seems to be safe when used in food amounts, although Canada does not allow the Archangelica species as food ingredients. There isnt enough information to know if angelica is safe when taken by mouth in medicinal amounts.

Angelica root seems to be safe for most adults when used as a cream, short-term.

If you take angelica, wear sunblock outside, especially if you are light-skinned. Angelica might make your skin more sensitive to sunlight.
