Licorice Root May Fight Diabetes

Licorice comes from a plant of the same name, Glycyrrhiza Glabra. It is a vine-like perennial vine with dark green leaves. The name licorice comes from the Greek word "licor," meaning sweet. Licorice has been cultivated since antiquity, and it was one of the most popular fruits consumed by early civilizations. The word "licorice" actually means sweetbread.

Licorice root is sweeter than sugar and may be consumed as an unsweetened beverage many times throughout the day. Licorice root contains many essential vitamins and minerals that promote good health. Licorice root may also be used in candy bars and beverages because of its sweetness. Licorice, being a natural sweetener, produces minimal amounts of calories and is a powerful antioxidant. Licorice has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties and may have a positive effect on many types of cancer.

Licorice extracts may be stored for long periods of time in a refrigerator. Licorice root is sold in stores, health food stores, supermarkets, herbal shops, drug administration departments, health food stores, and health food suppliers. Licorice and its extracts are used to treat various health conditions, including liver disease, edema (tummy problem), rheumatism, diabetes, high blood pressure, flatulence, poor digestion, poor skin tone, eczema, oral cancer, oral ulcers, jaundice, and hepatitis. Licorice extract is also marketed as a nutritional supplement and as a cough and cold remedy.

Licorice extract is marketed as a powerful anti-viral, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidant ingredient. Licorice extract may help treat or prevent hepatitis, HIV, genital warts, shingles, Epstein-Barr, and relapsing fever. It may help reduce inflammation, blood clots, and platelet thrombosis. Licorice extract is a source of glycyrrhizin (glycyrrhizic acid), which may help reduce cholesterol and sugar levels.

Licorice contains more than 300 chemical compounds. Among these chemicals are glycyrrhizin (a natural sugar), glycyrrhizic acid (anise oil), naringin (ancory), manganese, magnesium, potassium, sodium, phosphorus, thiamine, tannin, and flavones (which are individual sugar molecules that create the flavor). Licorice may cause allergic reactions such as hives, rashes, and contact dermatitis. In some cases, licorice may cause diarrhea, vomiting, and reduced fluid production.

Many licorice extracts are available in liquid, tablet, or powder form. Some are combined with other ingredients to improve the strength and efficacy. The liquid, tablet, and powder supplements should be taken two to three times daily with meals. Consult a health care professional for advice and dosage.

Licorice root extract is available in both oral and topical gels. Licorice gel capsules are capsules containing a combination of licorice extract, dextrose, and fructose, in an alternate arrangement to improve its oral administration. These capsules are useful for patients who cannot tolerate the taste of licorice. Licorice gels that contain licorice root extract should not be used in combination with another topical gels because the root extract may inhibit the effectiveness of the other ingredient.

Licorice root may also be used as a food or drink ingredient. Licorice root tea was a popular folk remedy in western Asia for more than a thousand years. Licorice tea provides sweetness and can enhance appetite. Licorice tea is sold in health food stores and on the internet. The glycyrrhiza glabra root is considered to be a safe, natural sweetener.
