Liquorice Health Benefits

Chronic Bronchitis

Liquorice root may slow the progression of chronic bronchitis associated in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).  According to studies, acids found in liquorice root have an antioxidant effect that is protective of the cells in the bronchi in the lungs.  This suggests that licorice may help slow the progression of COPD.

Strengthen Digestive System  

Strengthens the colorectal area. Liquorice root may help ease the pain of functional dyspepsia (FD), a chronic disorder marked by upper abdominal discomfort.

Menopause and Menstrual Symptoms

Licorice root is a mainstay home remedy for women with menstrual cramps and is also believed to help alleviate many of the adverse symptoms of menopause, including hot flashes. 

Peptic Ulcers

A 2016 study in the Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases reported that liquorice root added to standard triple antibiotic therapy increased H. pylori eradication rates from 62.5 percent in the placebo group to 83.3 percent in the liquorice group.

Liquorice root also appears to exert antimicrobial properties that may also treat certain fungal infections (like Candida albicans) and other hard-to-treat bacterial infections (like Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Enterococcus faecalis)
