Traditional uses

Licorice has been one of the most widely-used herbs across Chinese, Ayurvedic, and Mediterranean traditions for thousands of years. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it's used as a 'harmonizing' herb in many formulas. Traditionally valued for respiratory support, digestive comfort, and as a sweet base for herbal tea blends.

Suggested use

Brew 1 tsp per cup, simmer covered for 10 minutes. Often combined with other herbs to soften their taste. Use sparingly — a little goes a long way.

Care & safety

Important: licorice can raise blood pressure and lower potassium with regular use. Avoid if you have high blood pressure, kidney disease, heart conditions, low potassium, or are pregnant. Limit regular use to short periods. Consult a healthcare provider before use, especially if taking any medication.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry, dark place in a sealed container.
