Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra)

I like to make a Licorice root glycerite – I think it extracts better in glycerine than in alcohol. Licorice is great for nourishing the adrenal glands & helps those with chronic constipation. Helps with blood sugar management, too. We have dried chopped root, root powder and licorice root sticks. The sticks made fabulous chewing sticks for teething babies since they have a slight numbing effect. People with high blood pressure should limit their licorice intake, as it might elevate the pressure.
