Licorice in Medicine
The medical profession, most notably in Europe but also in Japan, has been rediscovering the medicinal uses of licorice and certain key components in the last three decades.
Stomach Troubles
Licorice has a centuries-old history as a natural home remedy for gastritis, acid reflux and heartburn. It acts to support and enhance the stomach’s natural self-protective mechanisms, and promotes growth of new cells in the stomach lining. “Licorice has been an effective treatment of peptic ulcers in many countries for hundreds of years,” reports US Pharmacist. But modern medicine also recognizes its benefits: Carbenoxolone, a derivative of one of the main compounds in licorice, was developed by researchers in London in the early 1960s and has become, in the UK and elsewhere in Europe, the preferred form of licorice used to promote healing of ulcers.
