Licorice (Liquiritiae radix) acts as:

• expectorant
• emollient
• anti-inflammatory
• antispasmodic
• mild laxative

The herb has notable effects on the endocrine system. Additionally, the glycosides it contains inhibit the production of cortisol in the body, the hormone released into the bloodstream when we are stressed, positively affecting stress-related issues.

Licorice mimics the action of cinnamon and helps control blood glucose levels by activating insulin for faster conversion of food glucose into energy. It is beneficial for problems related to gastritis and peptic ulcers and has a positive effect on catarrh, bronchitis, and cough. In cases of arthritis where corticosteroids are taken, it helps improve adrenal function.

CAUTION!

• During pregnancy and breastfeeding, consult your doctor before use.
• In case of hypertension, avoid excessive consumption.
