| Licorice Root [Glandular] has a long history of use by cultures throughout the world, including the Greeks, Egyptians, Chinese and Hindus. It grows wild in southern and central Europe and is extensively cultivated in Russia, Spain, Persia and India. Licorice was so valued in ancient Egypt that even King Tutankhamen was buried with a supply. Licorice is widely used as a flavoring, not only for candy (although most modern licorice candies are flavored with anise) but also in cough drops, syrups, tonics and laxatives. It flavors certain kinds of beer, frozen dairy desserts, gelatins, puddings and meat products. The sweet root can be chewed as a special treat. Licorice is included in most Chinese herb combinations to balance the other herbs and to promote vitality. It is a source of magnesium, silicon and thiamine. Nature’s Sunshine offers it in three forms for varying needs, including liquid extract—especially for those who have difficulty swallowing capsules. Each capsule contains 396 mg licorice root (ATC concentrated 410 mg). Herbal extracts are rapidly assimilated in the body and can be taken in liquid or under the tongue. |
