Relief for the throat and respiratory tract

If you’ve ever had a persistent cough or sore throat, you’ve probably heard that licorice can be a good ally. This is because it acts as a natural softener, soothing irritation and helping to expel mucus. For this reason, many herbal teas for coughs include licorice in their formula. It can also provide an anti-inflammatory effect that contributes to better breathing.

A boost against stress and fatigue

Licorice root has also been studied for its potential to support the adrenal glands, which are responsible for regulating the body’s response to stress. Consumed in small amounts, it can help maintain stable energy levels and combat that feeling of chronic fatigue that sometimes accompanies us.

Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant Properties

Thanks to its flavonoid content and other active compounds, licorice can help fight inflammation and cellular damage caused by free radicals. This is not only good for internal health but can also result in healthier skin and a stronger immune system.
