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 treating various health conditions. However, excessive consumption can cause potentially serious side effects.
Some traditional healthcare providers believe in the benefits of licorice root for treating eczema, bronchitis, constipation, heartburn, stomach ulcers, and menstrual cramps. It is believed that most of the benefits of licorice root are due to its most active ingredient, glycyrrhizin.
Traditionally, licorice root has been used for digestive health issues, 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 may help relieve pain associated with functional dyspepsia (FD), a condition characterized by episodes of discomfort in the upper abdomen.
Licorice root may help relieve menstrual and menopausal symptoms.
The role of licorice root in the treatment of peptic ulcers has garnered growing interest in the scientific community. In particular, researchers have been studying its effect on a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), which is the leading 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 may further increase the risk of side effects. These side effects can range from mild to severe.
