Organic Licorice Roots, Sliced

Explore the holistic benefits of our certified Organic Licorice Root Slices (Glycyrrhiza glabra), a staple in traditional Chinese medicine, renowned for its extensive range of health benefits. Our licorice rootss are derived from the highest quality organic licorice root, ensuring a natural, potent remedy for various ailments.

Licorice root is celebrated for its powerful anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties, particularly beneficial to the mucous membranes of the gut, throat, and respiratory system. It also supports the adrenal glands through its effects as an adaptogen, helping the body to manage stress more effectively. Additionally, licorice has been proven to aid in healing ulcers, offering a natural solution for digestive health.

Licorice root in the sliced form is especially helpful for those who are quitting smoking, and wish to employ a natural substitute while overcoming the oral fixation aspect of smoking. Furthermore, it is also really useful to throw into a lightweight first aid kit, as the slices can be pulled out and sucked on in their raw state to soothe a dry or inflamed throat; heating water and making these into tea is not always necessary!

While licorice root is known for its delightfully sweet taste, it uniquely does not impact blood sugar levels, making it a suitable option for a broad audience. It can be enjoyed as a tea that provides a sweet flavor profile without the drawbacks of sugar.

However, due to its ability to potentiate cortisol, the body’s natural steroid, individuals with high blood pressure should use licorice root sparingly—limiting intake to soothing occasional sore throats (no more than 5 grams per day) to avoid exacerbating their condition.

Whether used for its health-promoting properties or simply enjoyed in a naturally sweet tea, our organic licorice slices offer a versatile and effective herbal remedy.
