Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) is classified as an anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting, adaptogenic, and demulcent herb. It is commonly used to support digestive health, relieve symptoms of indigestion, heartburn, and ulcers, and soothe sore throats. Licorice is also known for its ability to balance the body's stress response, support adrenal health, and reduce inflammation. It has been traditionally used to treat respiratory conditions, such as coughs and bronchitis, and to improve skin health. Licorice is typically consumed as a tea, extract, or supplement. However, it should be used cautiously in large amounts due to potential side effects on blood pressure.
