Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra), also known as sweet root or mulethi, is a perennial herb native to parts of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. It contains more than 300 active compounds, most notably glycyrrhizin, a substance up to 50 times sweeter than regular sugar. Licorice root has been utilized in traditional medicine for thousands of years to treat respiratory, digestive, and systemic conditions.
