The licorice plant (Glycyrrhiza glabra or Glycyrrhiza uralensis) has a long history of use in traditional Eastern and Western medicine.
Native to the Middle East and parts of Europe and Asia, licorice root is generally considered safe for use in various health problems. However, excessive consumption can lead to potentially serious side effects.
Some traditional healthcare providers believe in the benefits of licorice root in treating eczema, bronchitis, constipation, heartburn, stomach ulcers and menstrual cramps. Most of the benefits of licorice root are thought to be due to its most active ingredient, glycyrrhizin.
Traditionally, licorice root has been used for digestive health problems, menopausal symptoms, coughs and certain types of infections.1 However, more research is needed to confirm these and other claims. Licorice root is believed to support and protect the respiratory system.
Licorice root can help relieve the pain of functional dyspepsia (FD), a condition marked by bouts of discomfort in the upper abdomen.
Licorice root can help relieve the symptoms of menstruation and the menopause.
The role of licorice root in the treatment of peptic ulcer has gained increasing interest in the scientific community. In particular, researchers have been looking into its effect on a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), which is the main cause of peptic ulcers and is difficult to treat.
However, side effects are possible when taking licorice root and may be more likely to occur if you take too much. Taking licorice root over a long period of time can further increase the risk of side effects. These side effects can be mild or severe.
