Chinese licorice root is an ancient herbal remedy commonly used by practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine. Its primary use is as a detoxifying agent and expectorant, although it displays many other properties potentially beneficial for health. Chinese licorice is used alone or mixed with other herbal remedies for enhancement and to limit side effects. Like most herbal remedies, Chinese licorice root has not been scientifically investigated to the satisfaction of American health authorities, so it should not be thought of as a cure for any particular disease as of yet. Consult your doctor before taking large amounts of any herbal supplement.
