Nutritional Highlights:

Licorice root
is a naturally sweet root traditionally used to help improve digestion. Licorice gets its stomach-calming benefits from chemical compounds like glycyrrhizin, which can help calm GI issues such as ulcerative colitis. Licorice root may also help reduce symptoms of eczema, calm stress, and even aid in the treatment of breast and prostate cancers. You’ll find it in powder, tea, and liquid extract form.

WARNING:
beware of taking too much, since high dosages can lead to an irregular heartbeat and high blood pressure.
