Licorice was used by first century Greek physicians. It is 50 times sweeter than common sugar. Primarily used as an aid for a normally functioning stomach, it is mild laxative which supports normal bowel function in occasional sluggishness. Licorice is rich in flavonids, antioxidants and also helps maintain a healthy and normal functioning immune system. It contains important compounds glicoricone, licofuranane, genistein, glycyrrhizin and glycyrrhotic acid. Important to remember; do not take this herb when on the following prescription medications such as digoxin, linoxin or steroids.
