Licorice root (Glycyrriza Glabra) has a long history of use in Chinese medicine and is known as the “great harmonizer”. It is frequently added to mixed botanical preparations to balance other herbs and to promote digestion and vitality. Licorice root extract may be helpful for treating symptoms associated with premestrual syndrome (PMS). Studies have shown that the extract has estrogenic activity and may help to regulate the estrogen-progesterone ratio. Licorice root extract has been used in Japan for more than twenty years as a treatment for chronic hepatitis. Results from randomized clinical trials using licorice root have shown a significant reduction of serum amino-transferase and a significant improvement in liver.
