Licorice Root (Glycyrrhiza glabra L., radix)
Licorice root from Glycyrrhiza glabra is rich in active compounds such as the triterpenoid saponin glycyrrhizin (and its metabolite glycyrrhetinic acid), flavonoids like liquiritigenin and glabridin, and various phenolic acids¹. These constituents are studied for supporting mucous membranes, assisting with mild respiratory symptoms, and contributing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory functions².
Traditionally in European, Middle Eastern and Asian herbal medicine, licorice root has been used for soothing the throat, supporting digestion and enhancing flavour in herbal formulas¹

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.
