Licorice benefits are known to Indians since
thousands of years. Its Sanskrit name is Yashtimadhu. It is one of the
most commonly used Ayurvedic herbs. The
health benefits of Liquorice include its use in hyperacidity, ulcer, general
debility, joint pains and some other diseases. It is beneficial in these
diseases due to its medicinal properties. It is a good anti-inflammatory and
analgesic agent. It also acts as antacid and aphrodisiac.
In Ayurveda, Liquorice (Yashtimadhu) roots
are best for medicinal uses. Although the usage of ‘Yashtimadhu’
became popular due to its taste, the health benefits of this beautiful plant
have been recognized by Ayurveda along the way. It is quite simply, the golden
star of Ayurvedic medicine or ‘God’s gift’ as referred to in
the Vedic texts. Yashtimadhu
has good health restoring benefits and aids many bodily functions. Its
properties are such that it finds a myriad of uses in both the preventive and
curative health domains.
Liquorice (Yastimadhu) is one of the most popular
medicinal herbs in India and also in abroad. The root of Glycyrrhiza glabra
(liquorice) contains a substance called glycyrrhizin which is 50 times sweeter
than sugar. Sugar, as we know it today, is a relatively new development 400
years ago, the only sweet tastes came from fruit and honey. The extreme
sweetness of liquorice (Yastimadhu)
made it a real oddity and people loved it. Due to its peculiar sweetness,
liquorice was used in many medicines to mask the unpleasant taste of the other
ingredients. This is a still common practice in India today and many parts of
the world..
