If you suffer from digestive issues due to the change of your daily routine from the holiday season, or a cough or a cold due to the cold weather, licorice can help. Licorice root is an ancient herb in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It has been used in many herbal blends to treat various health issues in TCM. Licorice root is inexpensive but has amazing healing powers. It has anti-viral, antibacterial, and antimicrobial properties. The active ingredient glycyrrhizic acid in licorice root helps treat a cough, sore throat, asthma, etc. Licorice root is also a great herbal remedy to treat digestive disorders, such as stomach ulcers, gastritis, and other digestive-related issues due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
One of the great aspects of licorice root that most people are not aware of is its detox power, it helps detoxify the liver and other organs and protects the liver from toxins and viruses overload.
