licorice root

November 19th, 2009

Traditional Chinese medicine has considered licorice as one of their key herbs for over three thousand years. Its use is associated with longevity. One common use of licorice root for instance is treating respiratory ailments. The herb helps loosen phlegm and ease non-productive coughs. It is also very helpful for bronchitis, congestion, and colds. As a demulcent, licorice soothes mucous membranes and helps alleviate sore throats. This is why it is a wonderfully effective ingredient in cough medicines and cough drops as both a pleasant flavoring, as well as an expectorant and soothing agent.

Licorice has also been common in traditional Chinese medicine for treating arthritis, rheumatism, painful joints, as well as ulcers, digestive, heart, and spleen problems to name a few.
