Licorice

Good Morning everybody. Are you suffering from a sore throat? Coughs? Colds? This morning we will discuss the power of Licorice, an aid in helping with these symptoms. Licorice contains Glycyrrhizinic acid which is 50 times sweeter than sugar cane, but will not increase the thirst. As a matter of fact Licorice will alleviate thirst. Alexander the Great supposedly supplied his troops with licorice sticks to chew on, that alleviated thirst and kept their energy levels up which helped them to win battles. Licorice is recommended for soothing throats and quenching thirst. Licorice root effects the concentrations of blood salts and stimulates and sustains adrenal function, yet protects the liver which is the body's detoxification plant insuring its purity from liver diseases, such as cirrhosis and hepatitis. Licorice root acts in the body like the cortin hormone and assists in helping the body handle the stress, allowing blood sugar levels to remain normal giving a general feeling of well-being. Glycyrrihin, one of the chemicals found in Licorice, has a chemical structure similar to that of human steroid hormones. It helps to raise blood sugar levels to normal. Perhaps the most common medicinal use is in cough syrups and cough drops. Licorice soothes the chest and helps to bring up phlegm. It soothes and heals inflamed mucous membranes of the respiratory tract. Occasionally, Licorice root elevates blood pressure, and it has been recommended that if blood pressure is a problem, then one should use licorice root with potassium. Here is a small list of the benefits of Licorice use: blood cleanser, poor circulation, colds, coughs(soothe throat), diabetes (raises blood sugar), female problems, hoarseness, lung problems, sexual stimulant, sore throat, vitality, and voice. There you have it, just some of the benefits of using Licorice. If you or someone you know maybe suffering from any of the above symptoms give Licorice a try, you may love the results.
