always use the root as a food sweetener. Once the root of the Glycyrrhiza

in medicines, sweets, drinks and much more. The Glycyrrhiza uralensis
root is considered 50 times sweeter than sugar. Before you add this herb, or any other new supplement, to your health regimen it is important to speak with your health care provider in order to identify any serious health concerns, possible allergies, and reactions to other medications.
