Licorice Root
Licorice Root
EFFECTS
This is one of the most widely used herbs in Western, Chinese and Ayurvedic herbalism. It works strongly on the endocrine/hormonal system, making it great for adrenal issues and exhaustion (and especially Addison's disease). Its soothing and healing effect on the digestive tract makes it most effective for stomach ulcers, gastritis and colic. Licorice treats coughs and bronchitis by soothing the respiratory system and clearing mucous from the lungs.

Licorice Root
This excellent herb supports the adrenals, reducing stress and exhaustion, and soothes digestive membranes in case of ulcers.
The herbs arrived quickly and were packaged beautifully. Thanks so much, you guys are legends (:
Thank you. We all really love sharing the herbs and packaging them up. Thanks Laura
Wow. I love the flavour but more so the layer of silkiness it leaves over my mouth. It's a good drink for a spot of mindfulness, paying attention to the slight aniseed notes and the feeling left on the tongue.
This root really has a good effect on digestion and the intestine. It has a distinct flavour that is nice to add to other herbal teas.
Hi Sandra! Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are glad that you are enjoying the licorice root -- such a good ally for healthy digestion! xx
Undeniably awesome. Thank You!
Great Service Guys

Loving Licorice Root as a tea. A really beautiful taste, has a smooth feeling on the throat, does help with my acid reflux. Will definitely be ordering more.
