Herb
Licorice Root
This naturally sweet root has long been chewed and steeped to soothe a scratchy throat and calm a fussy stomach.
🌱 What it is
Licorice root comes from a legume plant whose long roots carry a natural sweetness many times stronger than sugar.
✨ How it may help
- May help support a soothed, less scratchy throat
- May help support comfort with occasional indigestion
- May help support a calmer stomach lining short-term
🥄 How to use it
Sip as a tea, suck on a licorice-root lozenge for the throat, or use a special 'DGL' form for the stomach. Keep use short-term, about one to two weeks.
⚖️ Caution
Real licorice can raise blood pressure and lower potassium with regular use — avoid it if you have high blood pressure, heart or kidney problems, or are pregnant; DGL licorice avoids this concern.
🍃 A note from nature
Sweetness hiding underground in a plain root is a small, welcome surprise from a generous Creator.
