#a brief introdction
Licorice is the basic ingredient for five-spice powder, and it is also often used in pickled foods or in curry powders. Use parts of underground stems that have been dried or ground into powder. The sweetness is 150 to 200 times that of sugar, so licorice can also be used as a condiment for sweets such as preserves and beverages. Has antipyretic, detoxification, antitussive and phlegm removal, analgesic, antibacterial and other effects. Licorice contains glycyrrhizin, flavonoids, terpenes, amino acids, lignans, phytosterols and other ingredients. The flavonoids contained in licorice can reduce fat around the abdomen; while the glycyrrhizin contained in it can fight inflammation and boost immunity, but on the other hand, glycyrrhizin can also easily cause blood pressure to rise. Glycyrrhizin-depleted licorice is now often used as an anti-inflammatory and other health supplement. It can also cure sore throat, peptic ulcer, carbuncle sore, detoxification and food poisoning. Many prescriptions for bronchial diseases, such as asthma medicine, cold medicine or health care lotion, contain licorice.

#Remarks
Licorice has the same medicinal effect as Korean ginseng in traditional Chinese medicine and is a widely used medicinal material, so it is known as the "king of medicines". Licorice is most commonly used to treat upper respiratory discomfort and has a soothing effect on inflamed mucous membranes. Licorice root moisturises the mucous membranes of the throat, lungs, and bronchi when added to water or to cough drops. Licorice also makes joints comfortable and maintains normal blood vessels. Licorice extract produces mild estrogenic effects and is also helpful for stress relief during menopause and menstrual periods. Long-term or large doses can cause "pseudo-aldosteronism", edema, high blood pressure, arrhythmia, myocardial damage, and muscle weakness. There are clinical reports that oral administration of compound licorice tablets causes anaphylactic shock, drug eruption, hypokalemia, allergic laryngeal edema, acute respiratory failure in infants, and neonatal poisoning.
