The list is long when it comes to the benefits of this very special root.
Let’s see what it is about. The root is famous all over the world for its sweetend taste and it’s the juice of the licorice root where the famous licorice is made of. But this root has much more to offer than just being a candy.
Especially used in TCM (traditional chinese medicine) the root is known for its extraordinary anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-funghal and anti-inflammation benefits. It is prescribed when having stomach issues, lung issues or even liver and heart issues. It is also said to help against hepatitis and even hiv.
!(Please note to never take the licorice root without speaking to a doctor, especially if you have heart or liver issues or take medication as it can empower the reaction. It may cause high blood pressure)!
The treatment with this root can be very intense so I recommend to start with less and not to take it on a regular basis.
The root can be taken as a tea or you can just chew a peace of root for some minutes and spit it out afterwards. This is also a natural way to clean the mouth and your teeth. The tea can also be used as a natural mouthwash or you can put some of it onto your skin if you have skin issues or to lighten up the skin.
