About Licorice Root
Licorice root has been traditionally used across many cultures for its soothing, moistening qualities. In herbal medicine, it has commonly been used to help ease coughs, soothe sore throats, calm digestive discomfort, and support the stomach, making it a staple in respiratory and digestive blends.
Its natural sweetness also makes licorice root a popular ingredient for rounding out bitter or stronger herbs, improving both flavour and balance in herbal formulas.
