Licorice Root: Be Careful How You Use It

[MrInternet]

Very interesting about licorice root, but was this video recorded in some type of futuristic spaceship?

Licorice root helped me with problems that the doctors couldn't. One time I had a severe sore throat. I knew that it's virus attack and no cure with current medication. The doctor said the same and did not give me any prescription. I could not talk for 1 week. I boiled a few pieces of licorice root in water. It helped my throat to recover. The other time I had a lot of skin rashes after taking a new medication. I did the same and the rashes disappeared. But it did raise my blood pressure. When I boiled it with black beans, it did not affect my blood pressure. Taking a small amount when in need once a while should be fine.

This sounds really good for people with Low blood pressure

What are the other supplements? You talk about other herbs that are better but don't say what they are.

Licorice Root is great for hangovers. When you know you are going out drinking, take a Licorice Root supplement a few hours before you start drinking. Kicks your liver into overdrive. You're welcome.

The other reason your video falls in the category of old-school scare-mongering tactics is because you say what the side-effects are, but do not provide realistic parameters for the conditions in which those side-effects would take place. Lay people (to whom your video is obviously targeted) are more sophisticated than stereotypes suggest, and you may want to heed that advice when re-taping your videos and making further ones.

And always remember when a "doctor" doesn't recommend you something USE IT...

Very very funny. Because he wears a white robe he thinks his words would sound authentic. This has been the practice of major pharmaceutical companies over the years to use clever, deliberate words to induce fear in people so they can sway them any way they want.
For those of you who do not know anything about Licorice plant, it is plant that has been used as tooth brush for over thousands of years as an effective tooth brush with no side effects.
Licorice is one of many effective chewing stick out there.
Bear in mind that licorice and the west African chewing stick ( very popular in Ghana ) are far more effective than toothpaste and mouthwash combined.
If you want to save your teeth at your Old Age and don't have to wear dentures, and if you want to defeat gingivitis, periodontitis, improve teeth strength and fight bad mouth odor just try any of these two chewing sticks for yourselves.
Don't allow people in white robe use fear techniques to deceive you.
Do your own research, just be mindful of the source and the motive behind what you read .

People use it and please don’t listen to these so called “ dr “ it’s safe and natural... moderation in everything is key...

Does it raise your blood pressure if you use it on skin?

[xaraz]

Ok so a slight risk of high blood pressure but so does a can of fizzy drink besides rooting your teeth, dissolving your stomach and bones. People from my culture had been using this as one of the many natural herbal remedies, I have yet to see these side effects mentioned here, then again they're not consuming licorice 24/7. Like most things in life as long as it's used correctly and in moderation even a can of fizzy drink occasionally won't kill most people unless they're allergic to it...

The dopamine upping effects of licorice root are mainly in the bark.
People who don't want the high bloodpressure use root that has the bark removed.

what about the powder when put on the skin?

He is telling the truth in rw to Licorice Root. It skyrocketed my BP to the 160s over 114 117. I felt horrible, but did not know why. Headaches, dizziness, etc. I only took 1 capsule daily. I stopped, as my RN daughter warned me as to what was going on.

[duncanperkins]

What of the use of raw licorice root as an addative to daily brushing to help prevent toooth decay?

[rebornreborni]

Could you tell me if it is safe to chew Licorice root and then spit it out/wash ? or is it absorbed through the oral mucosa ?
