Licorice, a natural ally for your digestion
Licorice is an aromatic plant used in naturopathy but also since Antiquity for its medicinal properties on the digestive system.
In the mouth, it soothes canker sores, eliminates bad breath, reduces tartar and plaque. Licorice also helps with digestive comfort by supporting the proper functioning of the stomach, liver, and intestines. It is known for its beneficial properties on gastroesophageal reflux, which it relieves, because it promotes the production of gastric mucus, which will form a protective barrier for the stomach and esophagus. It prevents the formation of ulcers, heals, and soothes in cases of heartburn and acid reflux. It will also limit the inflammation caused by these refluxes or in cases of infection (gastritis or hepatitis), because it is gastro- and hepatoprotective.
Licorice helps with indigestion, heavy or overly large meals, because it is choleretic, meaning it stimulates the liver's production of bile and therefore promotes the digestion of fats. Licorice is also antispasmodic: it relieves stomach aches in cases of indigestion, menstrual pain, or stress-related abdominal cramps. It is also carminative, meaning it reduces bloating and intestinal gas. Licorice is also a mild laxative in cases of temporary constipation or slow bowel movements.
Licorice is therefore a very interesting plant for the digestive system, because it protects or supports the proper functioning of most of the organs of this system: the mouth, the esophagus, the stomach, the liver and the intestines.
Licorice, a natural booster
Licorice isn't just an aromatic plant. It's also a natural booster used in naturopathy. It doesn't just strengthen the digestive system. It's also invigorating and helps stimulate the body in cases of infection, inflammation, or temporary fatigue.
Indeed, licorice has anti-infectious and antimicrobial properties since it is antiviral, antifungal and antibacterial. In addition to medical advice, it is therefore interesting in cases of coughs, colds, bronchitis, gastritis or hepatitis.
Licorice is also an adaptogenic plant that strengthens stress resistance, as it supports the adrenal glands and the production of cortisol, the stress hormone. It will moderate exhaustion, burnout, and low blood pressure. It can therefore be useful and support the body in cases of physical or nervous fatigue.
Licorice also acts as a cortisone-like plant, as it is anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory. It helps calm autoimmune and inflammatory diseases (including those of the intestines), as well as allergies.
Licorice, as well as Antésite products, are therefore interesting for boosting the body against infectious and inflammatory diseases and fatigue.
