For over 3000 years, licorice root has been used as a remedy for peptic ulcers, sore throats and coughs in eastern and western medicine. Licorice root is also used to help dissipate coughs. It has been used since ancient times, across many cultures as food and as medicine. In Chinese medicine, Licorice is an ingredient in nearly all herbal formulas for the traditional purpose of "harmonizing" the separate herbs involved. This important tonic herb is often called "the grandfather of herbs." Chinese medical practitioners believe that Licorice is such a good harmonizing herb because it protects the body from the effect of some of the stronger herbs that may be added in some Chinese herbal formulas. It does this by protecting the liver cells from free-radical damage. By doing so it also augments the liver's ability to process toxins.

Here's how we use it - take a 1/4 of a teaspoon of licorice root powder, put it in a mug of boiling water (don't use the microwave to heat your water!) and drink it when it cools enough to not burn.  When your coming down with something, use it several times a day until you feel back to normal. Most people find that it tastes delicous and WOW does it work!  If you are part way into a cold, it won't work as fast, and for maxiumum effectiveness it's best to avoid all sweets except for fresh fruit.  Make note - licorice tea IS NOT THE SAME, and doesn't work like this.  Please don't use more than 1 teaspoon in a 24 hour period, nor is it something you should use on a consistent daily basis.   Prolonged use could cause an increase in blood pressure. With that said, next time you feel the slightest touch of a cold coming on, reach for licorice powder and be amazed at how quickly it works!
