high quality Liquorice P.E-plant extract

Function and uses Licorice root is often used for a variety of conditions. Peptic ulcers Deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) is often suggested as a treatment for stomach ulcers, although evidence as to whether it works is mixed. A few studies have found that DGL and antacids helped treat ulcers as well as some prescription drugs. However, since antacids were combined with DGL, it's not possible to know how much of the benefit came from DGL alone. One animal study found that aspirin coated with licorice reduced the number of ulcers in rats by 50%. (High doses of aspirin often cause ulcers in rats.) In one study, licorice root fluid extract was used to treat 100 patients with stomach ulcers (86 of whom had not improved with conventional medication) for 6 weeks. Ulcers disappeared in 22 of these patients; 90% of participants improved. Other studies have found that DGL had no effect on peptic ulcers in humans. Canker sores (Apthous ulcers) One small study found that the majority of people with canker sores who gargled 4 times per day with DGL dissolved in warm water found pain relief. Eczema In one study, licorice gel, applied topically, helped relieve symptoms of itching, swelling, and redness. A gel with 2% licorice was more effective than a gel with 1% licorice. Dyspepsia (indigestion, GERD) Some preliminary studies suggest that a specific herbal formula containing licorice, called Iberogast or STW 5, may help relieve symptoms of indigestion or GERD. This herbal formula also contains peppermint and chamomile, two herbs often used for indigestion. Upper respiratory infections (cold, cough) Licorice is a traditional treatment for cough and asthma. Studies have shown mixed results as to whether it is effective.
