Licorice root contains many anti-depressant compounds and is an excellent alternative to St. John's Wort. As a herbal medicine it has an impressive list of well documented uses and is probably one of the most over-looked of all herbal wonders. Licorice is useful for many ailments including asthma, athlete's foot, baldness, body odor, bursitis, canker sores, chronic fatigue, depression, colds and flu, coughs, dandruff, emphysema, gingivitis and tooth decay, gout, heartburn, HIV, viral infections, fungal infections, ulcers, liver problems, Lyme disease, menopause, psoriasis, shingles, sore throat, tendinitis, tuberculosis, ulcers, yeast infections, prostate enlargement and arthritis. Hundreds of potentially healing substances have been identified in licorice as well, including compounds called flavonoids and various plant estrogens (phytoestrogens). The herb's key therapeutic compound, glycyrrhizin (which is 50 times sweeter than sugar) exerts numerous beneficial effects on the body, making licorice a valuable herb for treating a host of ailments. It seems to prevent the breakdown of adrenal hormones such as cortisol (the body's primary stress-fighting adrenal hormone), making these hormones more available to the body. It has a well-documented reputation for healing ulcers. It can lower stomach acid levels, relieve heartburn and indigestion and acts as a mild laxative. It can also be used for irritation, inflammation and spasm in the digestive tract. Through its beneficial action on the liver, it increases bile flow and lowers cholesterol levels. Licorice also appears to enhance immunity by boosting levels of interferon, a key immune system chemical that fights off attacking viruses. It also contains powerful antioxidants as well as certain phytoestrogens that can perform some of the functions of the body's natural estrogens; very helpful during the menopause. Glycyrrhizinic acid also seems to stop the growth of many bacteria and of viruses such as influenza A. In the respiratory system it has a similarly soothing and healing action, reducing irritation and inflammation and has an expectorant effect, useful in irritating coughs, asthma and chest infections. It has an aspirin-like action and is helpful in relieving fevers and soothing pain such as headaches. Its anti-allergenic effect is very useful for hay fever, allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis and bronchial asthma. Possibly by its action on the adrenal glands, licorice has the ability to improve resistance to stress. It should be thought of during times of both physical and emotional stress, after surgery or during convalescence, or when feeling tired and run down.Licorice with glycyrrhizin may help to: Control respiratory problems and sore throat. Licorice eases congestion and coughing by helping to loosen and thin mucus in airways; this makes a cough more "productive," bringing up phlegm and other mucus bits. Licorice also helps to relax bronchial spasms. The herb also soothes soreness in the throat and fights viruses that cause respiratory illnesses and an overproduction of mucus. Lessen symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. By enhancing cortisol activity, glycyrrhizin helps to increase energy, ease stress and reduce the symptoms of ailments sensitive to cortisol levels, such as chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromylagia. Combat hepatitis. Licorice both protects the liver and promotes healing in this vital organ. The herb's anti-inflammatory properties help calm hepatitis-associated liver inflammation. Licorice also fights the virus commonly responsible for hepatitis and supplies valuable antioxidant compounds that help maintain the overall health of the liver. Treat PMS and menstrual problems. The phytoestrogens in licorice have a mild estrogenic effect, making the herb potentially useful in easing certain symptoms of PMS (premenstrual syndrome), such as irritability, bloating and breast tenderness. Although the glycyrrhizin in licorice actually inhibits the effect of the body's own estrogens, the mild estrogenic effect produced by licorice's phytoestrogens manages to override this inhibiting action. Prevent heart disease. Recent studies have found that by limiting the damage from LDL ("bad") cholesterol, licorice may discourage artery-clogging plaque formation and contribute to the healthy functioning of the heart. Research indicates that modest doses of licorice (100 mg a day) have this effect.

Absolutely delicious! (If you love black licorice, that is!) I need to take this for adrenal fatigue and also for Gastroparesis. Was told to start with 25 drops under the tongue, hold about 10 seconds, then swish around your mouth before swallowing about 10-15 min. before eating....making sure to use it 3 times daily. Some other benefits are if you have a sweet tooth, after taking this for a couple of weeks, this "urge" for sweets drops dramatically. Stress eaters, this is a MUST for you! It calms and relaxes as well, but in no way makes you sleepy. If anything, you have a positive mood and out look as well as a little livelier bounce in your step! lol :) Seriously, this is awesome, but was told to keep an eye out on my BP. If your blood pressure increases and doesn't go down, from long term use, it might be better to go with DGL (Licorice Root Extract w/o the ingredient that increases your BP). I, however, have been and remain fine with this. You're suppose to increase to 50 drops 3 x's daily and as you see evidence of it working, then cut down to 2 x's daily & maintain at 1 x daily unless you feel yourself slipping back. These are MY instructions I was given, I'm not a doctor, and not trying to be. Just giving my info. But think this is absolutely wonderful. Will update in a few months.

I got this for my little dog, she was scratching I think it's from allergies? I read something that I could give her licorice and it could help stop her itching. IT WORKED GREAT, have a half a dropper 2 times a day. She feels so much better.

premium grade. Great oil.

This helped my daughter’s sour throat and helped my mood. It doesn’t taste horrible to me and the dropper makes it easy to use.

Good value it’s healthy to have. Smells delicious I haven’t tried it yet.

I love this delicious licorice root in my water and it tastes so good! It really helps digestion and I have much more energy!

My medicine cabinet is NEVER without this! I have two or three at all times. I give it to the kids, the dog … everyone that has a gastrointestinal problem gets two - three drops & your good!
