 We cultivate licorice root a lot in our country, but unfortunately a significant amount of it is exported, as its importance to health is either ignored domestically or isn’t well known.
- It is a good thing that it is exported, and we should be pleased about being an exporter of this plant, but we should be questioning why it isn’t known or used for remedial purposes in Turkey. The properties of licorice include benzoate, which is an expectorant and a diuretic, substances that resemble cortisone and varying amounts of starch, while roughly 10 percent is natural herbal sugar. Licorice is very effective against coughing.

 To get the benefits of licorice’s properties add around 50 grams of licorice into a liter of water and boil it for 10 minutes. Make this tea in the evening and leave it to stand overnight. You may drink two to three glasses of it on an empty or full stomach during the day.
