Licorice Root (Glycyrrhiza glabra)

Description

What Is Licorice Root (Glycyrrhiza glabra)?

Licorice Root has been used for centuries throughout Asia and Europe. In fact, it's one of the most widely known herbs in ancient history, dating back to around 2000 BC.

This root has been used by the ancient Egyptians, Hindus, Greeks, Romans, Babylonians and Chinese - and it's said that Alexander the Great supplied his troops with sticks of this root to alleviate thirst and boost energy before battles.

The uses for Licorice Root are vast, and varied. It's been called the "Grand Tonic of the World" and for good reason! Just look at all the reasons people use Licorice Root for:

Stress: many people who have stress-related symptoms use Licorice to help with their cortisol levels (the stress hormone).

Respiration: Licorice Root may help soothe coughs and sore throats. It's also useful in helping to thin out mucus, making it easier for the body to get rid of it.

Digestion: this herb helps support the digestive system - some people actually chew on a stick of the root to help soothe heartburn and indigestion.

Inflammation: for many people with inflammatory conditions, Licorice Root may provide a natural way to help calm this inflammation.

Cleanses: This herb is also effective as a mild laxative, which can help with cleansing the colon.

This potent root contains glycyrrhizin, a substance which may be responsible for some of its helpful benefits.

Licorice Root is one of the most commonly used herbs in herbal medicine, and has stood the test of 3,000 years... and now it's available in a convenient and potent extract for you to try.
