Licorice Root Powder

Maximum order 4oz.

Glycyrrhiza glabra is an herbaceous legume that is native to the Middle East, southern Europe, and India. Licorice root has been an important herb in Eastern and Western traditions of herbalism for thousands of years. The root can be decocted as licorice tea and infused as licorice extract.

Licorice Root has a long history of use in herbal medicine, with applications dating back to the ancient Greeks, Egyptians, and classical Indian and Chinese periods. It is considered dumulcent, expectorant, tonifying, and carminative.

In comparison to Chinese licorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis), Glycyrrhiza glabra is sometimes referred to as Russian licorice, Spanish licorice, or Turkish licorice.
