Licorice is helpful to people with arthritis because is has
anti-inflammatory properties which are related to a release of corticoids
from the adrenals.
Licorice can normalize women experiencing infrequent
menstruation. It is also helpful for preventing and treating
immune-response deficiencies such as allergies.
Licorice helps alleviate thirst. The most common use for
licorice is in cough drops and syrups because it soothes the throat and
helps bring up phlegm. Therefore it is beneficial for bronchitis and other respiratory
problems.
