What are the Benefits of Licorice?

The benefits of licorice have been known for thousands of years among Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurvedic practitioners to soothe digestive tissues and other mucous membranes.

In Western Herbalism, licorice root is classified as a demulcent herb. A demulcent is a category of herbs known to soothe and moisturize tissues of the body. Demulcent herbs contain soluble fiber polysaccharides, which are molecules (known as hydrocolloids) that are hydrating and water-absorbent. Licorice root's demulcency, especially notable as a licorice root tea, is ideal for soothing delicate tissues within the digestive tract and throat.

Even though licorice root is an herbal remedy, individuals that have high blood pressure concerns should be mindful of the amount consumed and consult with their healthcare practitioner prior to use.

When most people think of licorice, the sweet and earth flavored licorice candy comes to mind. Given that glycyrrhizin, one of the main active compounds in licorice, is among nature's sweetest substances (50 times sweeter than sugar), it is no surprise how this plant became a popular ingredient in candy. Although licorice candy can sometimes be a polarizing flavor, it is often included in herbal formulas to harmoniously balance taste and medicinal benefits.
