Liquorice, Glycyrrhiza glabra, is a purple and white flowering perennial, native of the Mediterranean region and central and southwest Asia. It is cultivated for the sweet taproot that grows to a depth of four feet (1.2 m).At all times, liquorice was used less as a spice than as a medicine.
Its use against the diseases of the upper respiratory tract dates back to ancient Egypt. The main part of the plant used in medicine is the root.
This root is a gentle relaxant, soothing to mucous irritations, and most like its sweet taste and it masks the sharpness / pungency / taste of other remedies. Ayurevda recommends the root as beneficial in the treatment of coughs, colds, and other bronchial irritations.
The root may be chewed as throat lozenges; or prepared as infusions by removing the outer bark and boiling for several minutes, to relieve hoarseness and coughs.
