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.

==Special Precautions of Chinese Liquorice==

Possible Indications

Due to its varied properties, Chinese licorice root is recommended for a wide-variety of conditions and symptoms, such as sore throat, tooth decay, gingivitis, canker sores, chronic coughing, bronchitis, influenza, other bacterial and viral infections, arthritis, gout, gastritis, stomach ulcers, indigestion, constipation, enlarged prostate, and liver and pancreatic conditions. Ask your doctor if taking herbs such as Chinese licorice can interfere with common pharmaceutical drugs recommended for the above mentioned conditions. Herbalists and naturopaths may also be good sources of information about the benefits and side effects of Chinese licorice.
