About Liquorice root
Liquorice root, derived from the Glycyrrhiza glabra plant, is prized for its sweet and earthy flavor, making it a staple in traditional medicine and cuisine across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. Packed with bioactive compounds like glycyrrhizin, it offers anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antioxidant properties. Historically, it has been used to soothe sore throats, aid digestion, and support respiratory health. Liquorice root is also a source of flavonoids, which may promote heart health. However, excessive consumption can lead to elevated blood pressure or lower potassium levels due to glycyrrhizin, so moderation is key. Often found in teas, candies, and herbal remedies, its unique flavor and potential health benefits make it a versatile addition to diets and wellness practices worldwide.
