Licorice (Liquiritiae radix) acts as:

• Expectorant
• Emollient
• Anti-inflammatory
• Activates the adrenal glands
• Antispasmodic
• Mild laxative

The herb has a significant effect on the endocrine system. Licorice mimics the action of cinnamon and helps regulate blood glucose by activating insulin to convert food glucose into energy more quickly. It is beneficial for issues related to gastritis and peptic ulcers, as well as for runny nose, bronchitis, and cough. In cases of arthritis where corticosteroid medications are taken, it helps improve the functioning of the adrenal glands.

WARNING!

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