Glycyrrhiza glabra
In traditional Chinese medicine, licorice is considered a harmonizing herb, and is often included in blends to synergize and balance their action. A powerful tonic for adrenal insufficiency, fatigue and stress, licorice inspires the body to regain balance and recalibrate its stress response. Licorice’s demulcent properties allow it to soothe dryness, inflammation, and irritation of the mucous membranes, particularly in the throat, lungs and gut. It soothes gastrointestinal inflammation and irritation due to reflux, ulcers, gastritis, and IBS. Licorice may be useful for those with weak immune systems or those living with autoimmune disorders. It is also used topically and internally for shingles/herpes. Licorice is slightly phytoestrogenic, and can be useful for hormone imbalances or for symptoms of menopause. It is the best-known herb for people who suffer from excessively low blood pressure that causes light-headedness or fainting.
*Licorice should be avoided or used with caution in people with high blood pressure. Medicinal doses should be avoided during pregnancy and nursing. This is not a complete list of all possible contraindications.*

"If you want to change your life and overall well-being take the first step and visit the Herb Shoppe. They are so knowledgeable in herbs, flower essences, and everything vital to life. I am so very grateful for this store."
"The herb shoppe is amazing! I had such a positive experience and the staff was so patient and helpful. As a newbie to herbalism and apothecary, it's so refreshing to be guided and helped out without any judgement. Vicky is super awesome and knows so much about herbalism and essential oils. Great selection of herbs and they have some delicious kombucha on tap."
"This place is amazing. The staff there are always very helpful. Reasonable prices for a large selection of herbs, teas, etc. They have smudge sticks and other things too. I am a huge fan of their turmeric chips for my inflammation. It's better than taking ibuprofen, and I can just drop a few chips in my tea."
