Licorice Root Extract Licorice Root is an anti-inflammatory, anti-viral supplement for arthritis, asthma, hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, ulcer remedy Licorice Root is 50 times sweeter than sugar. It contains lecithin, protein, magnesium, silicon, thiamine, and Vitamins B and Vitamin E, Licorice can be used alone or with combination herbal remedies. The anti-inflammatory properties of Licorice make it especially beneficial for relieving a variety of ailments such as sore throats, arthritis, asthma and muscle spasms. Research in Japan in 1985 showed that glycyrrhizin was effective in the treatment of chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis. Physicians use licorice to treat chronic hepatitis B. Glycyrrhizin interferes with hepatitis B surface antigen and is synergistic with interferon against hepatitis A virus. It is also used at times to treat hepatitis C. Researchers have also demonstrated that licorice helps protect the liver from damage due to chemotherapy. The primary medicinal use of licorice extract in Europe is to treat coughs, colds, and other respiratory infections. Glycyrrhizinic acid stops the growth of many bacteria, viruses and flu. It also stimulates the production of interferon. Chinese agree that licorice is effective against cough and soothes the inflamed tissues of a sore throat. During World War II, F. E. Revers, M.D. of Holland noticed a small-town pharmacist prepare a licorice paste for people suffering from stomach ulcers. Dr. Revers tried licorice with a few of his own patients, and found out that it worked well. In at least half the patients he tested this paste on, the ulcers were nearly gone within a month. The only real problem that he encountered was that some of his patients developed water retention. In the meantime, doctors have also found that licorice sometimes increases high blood pressure. This synergistic blend of the finest quality Licorice Root from China (Glycyrrhizae uralensis) and Pakistan (Glycyrrhiza glaba) make a superior Licorice Root extract. 68-9 Licorice Root 450mg 100 capsules $11.95 We have organized Superb Herbs Products into the following categories: Arthritis, Allergies, Cancer, Cholesterol, Cleansing, Eucalyptus Oil, Health Conditions, Herbal Formulas, High Blood Pressure, Menopause, Natural Medicine, Pet Medicine, Prostate, Sexual Vitality, Single Herbs, Vitamins and Weight Loss.
