Description
Licorice root has the most improbable resume in all of herbalism: independently adopted by Ayurveda, traditional Chinese medicine, ancient Egyptian medicine, Greek medicine, and Native American traditions - all without any of those civilizations having contact with each other when they made the decision. When five unconnected cultures independently conclude that the same root is valuable, the root has passed a clinical trial that no laboratory could design.
Dr. HERBALIST Licorice Extract delivers 250mg of concentrated Glycyrrhiza glabra per capsule. The name Glycyrrhiza literally means 'sweet root' in Greek - and licorice root is indeed naturally 50 times sweeter than sugar, thanks to glycyrrhizin, the triterpenoid saponin compound that accounts for both the sweetness and the bioactivity.
Glycyrrhizin's dual nature is the key: the same compound that makes licorice sweet also makes it traditionally useful. It acts as a demulcent - a substance that forms a soothing, protective coating on mucous membranes - which is why virtually every traditional system that adopted licorice used it for throat comfort, digestive soothing, and respiratory wellness.*
Mulethi in Ayurveda. Gan cao in Chinese medicine. Sweet root in English. The names change. The application has been consistent for 4,000 years.
One capsule daily. The root that every civilization on Earth agreed upon.
