Natures Answer

Liquorice root is absolutely vital to have around if you suffer from ulcers or any other irritation of the mucous membranes. It is immediately soothing to your throat and to an ulcer. Instead of just covering the wound or irritation it actually heals it. Not to be taken every day, but you will find that you don’t need too. Many issues will be resolved after taking it for a week or so. Liquorice is an herbaceous perennial plant that is native to several areas of the world, including southern Russia, the Mediterranean, parts of Asia and southern areas of Europe.
Liquorice is often used in combination with other herbs
It’s interesting to note, that most American Liquorice candy does not actually contain any liquorice at all
