Liquorice is a plant native to the Mediterranean and western Asia. The root of the liquorice plant has been used medicinally for thousands of years. Chinese medicine has long used liquorice root to treat many ailments, including gastrointestinal problems, malaria, insomnia and infections.
Liquorice root is often used as a sweetener in drinks, sweets and medicines. It is 50 times sweeter than sugar, but offers health benefits that sugar does not. Liquorice root contains more than 300 chemical compounds and flavonoids.
Glycyrrhizin, the most active chemical compound in liquorice, has been studied for its medicinal properties. This powerful photochemical has been proven to support body fat reduction, supports stomach ulcers healing and provides support also in infection control.
