about this product
What is Licorice Root?
Licorice Root is the cut and sifted dried root of Glycyrrhiza glabra, a perennial legume in the pea family (Fabaceae) native to the Mediterranean, southern Russia, and parts of Asia.
About the plant
The root is naturally sweet, about 50 times sweeter than sugar, from the compound glycyrrhizin; that sweetness is the basis of the candy that bears its name. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, licorice (gan cao) is included in many classic formulas as a "harmonizer," an herb believed to balance the other ingredients. It is equally a staple of Western herbal tradition. Its studied compounds include glycyrrhizin along with various flavonoids and isoflavones.

Herb Stomp (Sandy) is BY FAR the best Herb and Kratom store I have ever been to. In my 2.5 years of using Kratom, I have never been to a place as helpful as this! The employees are so so helpful! Usually when buying Kratom, I’m met with grumpy head shop owners who seem to want me to either spend out of my budget, or…
Awesome, knowledgeable staff. Great selection and quality of herbs and ethnobotanicals. I also appreciate that testing is done for contaminants and potency on certain herbs. In 8 years coming here I have yet to purchase anything stale or otherwise questionable quality. We technically *could* ask for more in a local…
