Organic Licorice Tincture -alcohol free-

Since earliest recorded history, licorice has been valued as an aphrodisiac, beautifying agent, used for vitality, and longevity, often called an elixir of life. It is one of the oldest and best-known remedies for coughs and chest complaints.

It contains a unique substance called glycyrrhizin; by analysis found to be 50 times sweeter than refined sugar. The glycyrrhizin has no calories, but the natural licorice root (from which the glycyrrhizin comes) does contain a few calories due to the presence of a very small amount of dextrose (1.4%) and sucrose (3.2%). This sweetener can be utilized by diabetics. Due to its sweetness and flavouring properties, it is used to make the bitterness of other medicines more palatable.

Using suggestions:

Cough: Use as tea in combination with other cold herbs like chamomile, lemon balm or use with thyme to make a cough sirup

Throat infection: Use on it’s own or combine with witchhazel or sage as a tea or throught spray

Tea sweetener: Use for all kinds to “bitter” teas to sweeten (suitable for people with diabetes)
