Licorice Herbal Drops
Description
Common Name: Licorice
Botanical Name: Glycyrrhiza glabra
Part Used: Root
Ratio: 1:1
Licorice may be helpful with Low blood pressure, peptic ulcer, reflux, PCOS and stress.
Herbalists have used licorice for centuries to relieve adrenal gland stress and support the adrenal system during times of excessive stress by keeping it in balance.
Specifically, licorice contains glycyrrhizic acid which stimulates adrenal secretions ensuring that normal function is maintained. By enhancing cortisol activity, glycyrrhizin helps to increase energy, ease stress, and reduce the symptoms of ailments sensitive to cortisol levels, such as chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia.
Since the glycyrrhizic acid found in licorice root encourages the function of the adrenal glands, it can help with feelings of nervousness and depression.
The phytoestrogens in licorice root have a mild estrogenic effect, making the herb potentially useful in easing certain symptoms of PMS, such as irritability, bloating, and breast tenderness.
In addition, the phytoestrogens in licorice root may help to minimize menopausal symptoms by compensating somewhat for the natural decline in a woman's estrogen levels following menopause.
Another benefit is that it accomplishes all this while inhibiting the much stronger estrogenic effects presented by chemical estrogens in the environment—and even your body’s own powerful estrogens. In other words, it helps prevent estrogen dominance.
CAUTION - not to be used with high blood pressure.
