Licorice Root - Health Benefits
Skin inflammation and infection
Licorice Root extract has shown to be effective against bacteria that can infect the skin, such as Eczema.
Stomach discomfort and ulcers
Research has shown flavonoids present in licorice root (glabridin and glabrene) were effective in relieving stomach discomfort, which reduced nausea, stomach pain, and heartburn.
Infection with bacteria called Helicobacter Pylori can cause peptic ulcers in some people. Research suggests that a licorice extract may help kill H. Pylori bacteria. A clinical trial of 120 people found that the addition of licorice extract to the standard treatment significantly improved H. Pylori eradication.
