Liquorice Root

Glycyrrhiza glabra · Chopped Dried Root · Traditional Botanical

Naturally sweet, earthy and distinctive, Liquorice Root is a familiar botanical with a long history in Asian, Middle Eastern and European herbal traditions.

Liquorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) is a perennial plant in the legume family, cultivated for its underground roots. The dried root has a naturally sweet taste due in part to the compound glycyrrhizin and is commonly encountered in traditional botanical formulations and flavour blends.

Our chopped dried Liquorice Root is offered as a single botanical ingredient, preserving its woody texture and characteristic sweet flavour.

At Flowers from my Meadow, we keep it pure and uncomplicated: chopped dried Liquorice Root, carefully packed for your botanical pantry.

Traditional Preparations & Botanical Blending

Liquorice Root has traditionally been combined with botanicals including Chamomile and Peppermint in herbal preparations. Its sweetness can influence the flavour of a blend even in a small amount.

Because Liquorice Root contains glycyrrhizin and can cause serious side effects or interact with medicines, consult a healthcare professional before ingesting it as a herbal preparation. No routine daily dose or prolonged-use regimen is recommended.

Botanical Pantry Inspiration — Sweet Herbal Blending

Our original Sweet Calm Tea paired Liquorice Root with Chamomile and Peppermint. These botanicals offer contrasting aromas and textures for exploring traditional herbal blending. Ask a qualified practitioner whether an ingestible preparation containing Liquorice Root is appropriate for you, and what quantity to use.

Precautions

Do not use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Liquorice containing glycyrrhizin may raise blood pressure, reduce potassium levels, cause fluid retention and affect heart rhythm. Avoid use if you have high blood pressure, heart disease, kidney disease or low potassium.

Consult a healthcare professional before use if you take prescription medicines, particularly diuretics, corticosteroids, blood-pressure medicines, digoxin or other cardiac medicines. Avoid frequent, concentrated or prolonged use without professional supervision. Stop use if any adverse effect occurs.
