Overview
This ain’t candy, it’s the real thing!
We know licorice for its wide use as a candy flavoring.
Long known for its sweetness, licorice extract is approximately 40 times sweeter than sugar!
But the health value of "real" licorice root goes far beyond that.
Licorice root is an adaptogen, offering energizing properties and support during times of occasional stress. Adaptogens help the body buffer the effects of stress and adapt to stressful situations.
Licorice root also has a reputation for helping the entire body maintain balance and promoting well-being.
Dietary use of licorice root goes back several thousand years. Ancient Greeks and Romans used licorice for its numerous health benefits, while Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has relied on licorice root to provide digestive, respiratory, and reproductive system support.
Licorice root also supports the glandular system, specifically the adrenal glands, to keep you feeling sweet!

How It Works
In TCM, licorice root is known as “The Great Detoxifier”, regarded as one of the most effective herbal medicines for reducing toxicity.
Licorice root has been used primarily in TCM to help support the kidneys, liver, spleen and stomach.
Most Chinese herbal formulas use licorice to increase the efficacy of other herbs when used together, as well as to promote overall wellness and vitality.
Licorice root is considered particularly helpful to women who menstruate and for promoting glandular balance and well-being. Licorice root is also regarded as an adrenal/pituitary tonic.
Traditional western herbalists use licorice root as a general tonic and as a natural expectorant to clear the respiratory tract and help the body combat cough. Licorice root helps to loosen and thin mucus in the respiratory tract, making it easier to cough up and clear the airways.
Licorice root is a popular herbal remedy for gastrointestinal and liver support, gently supporting peristalsis (wave-like muscle contractions that move food through the digestive tract) and overall digestion. Licorice root may also help increase mucus production in the stomach, which can soothe the stomach lining and promote healing.
Plus, licorice root may help soothe irritated tissues and relieve redness and swelling. Licorice root contains compounds like glycyrrhizin and glabridin that promote a healthy inflammatory response.
Licorice root contains active compounds that may help maintain normal-range blood sugar levels.
Licorice root is also a rich source of magnesium, silicon, and sodium and contains high amounts of chromium, cobalt, iron, potassium and niacin (vitamin B3).

Our licorice root is wild-crafted in a specially chosen region in Turkey. There, expert harvesters collect roots of the perfect size, from ¼ to 1 inch in diameter. They leave the plant in place for future gleaning, creating a sustainable supply. These plants will produce for many years. Licorice root is sought for its value as a powder and as a tea.
