Licorice Root: Adrenal Nourishment & Digestive Support

Why Licorice Root Has Been a Healer’s Ally

Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) has held a sacred place in many traditional medicine systems. It is known for its ability to support the adrenals, soothe the digestive tract, and modulate stress responses. Because chronic stress often disrupts digestion and adrenal function, Licorice offers a bridge between those systems, helping restore balance from the inside out.

Key Benefits of Licorice Root

• Supports cortisol balance and helps extend gentle energy without crashing

• Soothes gastric lining and digestion, helping with ulcers, acid imbalance, or digestive irritation

• Helps stabilize blood sugar and reduce adrenal troughs

• Acts as an anti-inflammatory herb throughout the body

• Supports electrolyte balance and healthy digestion during detox or cleansing phases

Because Licorice interacts with multiple systems, it’s often used in formulas to “bind and balance,” giving the body both support and stabilization.

Who This Is For

Licorice Root is for those who feel depleted or burned out, whose energy dips mid afternoon, or whose digestion feels flared by chronic stress. It’s also for people doing detox, cleansing, or adrenal recovery work who want to protect and stabilize the internal systems as healing progresses.

If your body feels like it’s running on reserve, or if stress has left your digestion sensitive and your energy uneven, Licorice can be a gentle support ally.

How to Use Licorice Root (Loose Root)

Tea / Decoction Method

• Use about ½ teaspoon of Licorice Root

• Simmer in 1 cup (240 mL) of water for 10–15 minutes

• Strain and drink slowly

• Best taken in the morning or early afternoon (it can have a mild stimulating effect)

• Optional: combine with herbs like Ashwagandha or Eleuthero to support the adrenals

Blend Use
Because Licorice is often a harmonizer in formulas, you can pair it with other adrenal or liver support herbs to smooth out formulas and support synergy.

Precautions to Note

Licorice is powerful, but it isn’t for everyone. Some cautions:

• If you have high blood pressure, kidney issues, or heart disease, use Licorice with caution (or consult your health care provider)

• Prolonged use or high doses may impact potassium levels or cause fluid retention

• Use intermittently it’s best as a support herb, not a daily singular for very long durations

Always listen to your body and use Licorice in rotation with other adaptogens.
