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.

I am in recovery from an almost critical adrenal issue triggered by an emotional trauma. My cortisol dipped below normal for a couple of months and the onset of cramping and excessive thirst/dehydration scared me into a doctor's office. I've never experienced this in my life! I was peeing constantly, had to get up several times a night while extremely thirsty. Dehydration and the ensuing electrolyte imbalance showed up as uncontrolled cramping calves, toes, insteps and twitching thighs. I felt like my arms and legs had electricity surging through them. I could't sleep. What I learned from research is when your cortisol drops below normal and stays low your aldosterone may also tank, resulting in the body's inability to hold onto water. Aldosterone regulates the potassium, salt and calcium/mag in your body. An interesting symptom of low aldosterone - You leak salt. I recall a friends dog obsessively licking my legs months before the crisis. Another wrinkle - While your body has trouble upping your cortisol, adrenaline kicks in to keep you body going, hence ruined sleep and the surges I felt. For the folks who say they felt nothing, you're probably not in need of it. It's proven as an adrenal support. Also, losing weight involves more than just taking licorice. I used this licorice to help support my adrenals while they were rebuilding. For me I felt it's lift. Only used 1/4 dose - 14 drops along with TADS adrenal cortex and at least 75 oz of salted water for at least 2 months. The cramping immediately began to subside, but, I was still dehydrating. Eventually, all the symptoms slowly disappeared and went away. To retest I stopped all salt in water, and no licorice or adrenal support for 2 weeks. As part of my protocol this extract stopped my decline and ultimately helped normalize my adrenals! Some days after my test I tried the same dose of licorice for one day - The lift came back. It works.

I love the product I add it to any juice or water some time just drop in my mouth directly.. I add to hand scrub too..

If you have IBS dont take this. Trust me, it works for one thing, but harms another ,if you have GI issues like I do...the flavor is ok, managable, and it did help with constipation but then, it turned into severe cramping and much pain for days.. just a warning. I have nothing against this mixture ,just be cautious when taking it.

I LOVE THIS! Never use it on my face, but I use it for my armpits.
