Licorice is a beloved and powerful herb known for its naturally sweet flavor and deeply restorative properties. Also called Sweet Root, Liquorice Root, or Gan Cao in Traditional Chinese Medicine, licorice has been used for thousands of years across Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Ayurvedic, and Chinese traditions. Beyond candy and confections, licorice root is a profound ally for the lungs, digestion, adrenal system, and spiritual harmony.
