Licorice Root
How it Works
We know this herb for its wide use as a candy flavoring, but its value goes far beyond that. The dietary use of licorice goes back several thousand years. Traditional herbalists use licorice root as a general tonic and for glandular support. It also supports the liver.
Most Chinese herb combinations use licorice to balance the other herbs and to promote vitality. It has a reputation for helping the entire body maintain balance (particularly helpful to women who menstruate) and for promoting well-being. Licorice contains triterpenoid saponins, flavonoids, isoflavonoids and other beneficial constituents.
Why Licorice Root?
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.
