Personally I do not like the taste of licorice and would have never thought it to be so great!! It is treated for so many common and uncommon ailments. Licorice is a antioxidant and anti-inflammatory which is also great for overall cleansing and detoxifying your body promoting cell regeneration.

Licorice is used for treating:

*The licorice herb is used to prevent Tooth Decay. Personally I would have never thought that but it does!! I had even asked my dentist about this the last time I went and he agreed.

*Used to help smokers quite smoking

*Gout

*Hot flashes in menopausal women

*Helps treat chronic fatigue syndrome

*Heartburn

*Liver Problems

*Constipation

*Lyme Disease

*Colds and coughs

*Dandruff

*Sore Throat

*Menopause - great for hormonal imbalance problems

*Tendinitis

*Emphysema - if you smoke or around smoke - have licorice tea once a day

*Tooth Decay

*Canker Sores

*Baldness

*Athlete’s Foot

*Asthma

*Fungal and Viral Infections

*Gingivitis

*Treats and prevents prostate enlargement problems

*Helps treat and prevent skin problems just as eczema

*Helps treat PMS

*Tuberculosis

*Psoriasis

*Shingles

*Anaphylaxis Attacks

*Depression

*Arthritis and joint aches and pains

So maybe I should acquire a taste for Licorice Tea…I think it might do me good!! However as with anything licorice and it’s extracts are only safe in moderate amounts. High does of licorice could case water retention, loss of potassium, high blood pressure and headaches. And you should always consult your doctor before trying a natural remedy.
