PRECAUTIONS: 

Do not consume angelica preparations during pregnancy. The furanocoumarins in the herb may increase photosensitivity to UV radiation.

Do not use this herb if you take anticoagulant medications due to a risk of uncontrolled bleeding.

Accurate identification is crucial since angelica closely resembles water hemlock, a highly poisonous plant that thrives in the same habitat.
