Like many natural remedies, licorice has a long history of boosting health. In ancient Egypt it was drunk in tea form and a cure-all remedy – some was even found in King Tutankhamun’s tomb. Later it was imported to China and it still remains an important part of Chinese medicinal tradition.

One of the popular uses for licorice is to soothe gastrointestinal conditions. Extract from licorice root can help speed up how quickly the stomach lining is repaired and help maintain a healthy balance. This action is thanks to the glycyrrhizic acid, which is both anti-inflammatory and immune boosting. It’s an excellent remedy for conditions like gastritis, heartburn and stomach ulcers. it’s also beneficial to the skin when used externally. Blending licorice root into topical lotions and creams means its antioxidant powers can help calm and sooth certain inflammatory skin conditions, including eczema, sunburn and redness.

Licorice was used many years ago in gin production. It has a flavour very similar to anise or fennel but is sweeter and so was traditionally used as a sweetening agent. Today gin producers still turn to this root for both its distinctive colour and to add sweetness. Even once distilled the flavour remains characteristically woody, and it also adds an oily feel to the drink.
