The Western world is not new to the concept of licorice lozenges and candies. Also spelt as liquorice and popular as sweet wood, its scientific name is glycyrrhiza glabra. Believe it or not, it is a very popular and ancient herb in Ayurveda, one of the world's oldest medical systems that originated in India.
In India, licorice is known as mulethi, mulaithi, jethimadh, yashtimadhu, jothi-madh, gan cao and gan zao. It is especially popular in India, China, Spain, Russia, Iran, Italy and the Mediterranean region. Scientifically known as Glycyrrhiza glabra, mulethi is considered an edible superfood that is rich in flavonoids. It is rich in polysaccharides, proteins, amino acids, saponins, pectins, vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, E and C, calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorous, potassium, sodium, silicon, selenium and zinc. Mulethi naturally exerts antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, expectorant and demulcent properties.
It is an excellent traditional recipe with potential benefits in managing cough and congestion. Mulethi may also help regulate body fat and cholesterol. It may naturally build the body’s ability to reduce risk of auto-immune diseases. Mulethi may also be helpful in mitigating symptoms of indigestion, jaundice and liver disorders. It is also used extensively for dental health and hygiene.
