Sweet tasting licorice root is an outstanding tonic for the endocrine system and is specific for the reproductive system.

Licorice root contains many anti-depressant compounds and is an excellent alternative to St. John's Wort.

Licorice is useful for many ailments including:

* Boosts immune system

* Relieves pain and stress

* Control respiratory problems and sore throat

* Lessen symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia

* Combat hepatitis

* Treat PMS and menstrual problems.

Because of its extremely sweet flavour, licorice is best used with other herbs. It is an excellent harmonizer - when used in multi herb formulas, it alleviates unpleasant symptoms caused by the action of harsher herbs without interfering with their beneficial qualities.
