Licorice root is the root of the Glycyrrhiza glabra, a type of legume cultivated in parts of Asia and southern Europe. It possesses several specific health properties, such as its anti-viral properties and its support for the adrenal and other endocrine systems. However, licorice also offers a large number of benefits for common everyday health conditions.

For example, it can be used to relieve digestive problems such as heartburn, acid reflux and indigestion, and also helps relieve flatulence. It offers mild laxative properties and is an effective colon cleanser. Some find that is helps relieve the symptoms of colds and flu, and conditions of the upper respiratory tract. The anti-inflammatory properties of licorice root render it useful in relieving the painful symptoms of arthritis, and it is also useful for irritations and inflammation of the bowel for the same reason.

It helps with autoimmune conditions such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, and can help people suffering from adrenal deficiency by helping them live a normal life, free of stress and constant fatigue. Licorice root appears to act like an adaptogen, tending to normalize the triple hormonal axis of the hypothalamic, pituitary and adrenal glands and promote a balanced release of hormones.

Licorice root offers many more simple and complex health benefits, and appears a good choice to use as a maintenance supplement, to help you maintain good health and avoid many of the regular illnesses that people tend to get. Do not overdo it though, and do not use licorice if you have heart or kidney problems. Pregnant and nursing women are also best to avoid it.
