!~¤§¦  Benefits of licorice ¦§¤~!  
 
There are a number of benefits to licorice :
* Peptic Ulcers : Licorice is used in Europe as medicinal support for people suffering from ulcers. Scientific studies have also shown that licorice is very effective as a pharmaceutical drug when it comes to treating peptic ulcers. A special form of licorice known as DGL is the preferred treatment for ulcers; this form removes the glycyrrhizin from the licorice as this can cause high blood pressure .

* HIV infection: Research has shown that the benefits of licorice can also be used in HIV related diseases. Licorice helps to slow the progression of HIV to AIDS and clinical studies carried out showed that licorice was able to slow HIV reproduction in test tubes. As you know the HIV virus targets the body's immune system and destroys white blood cells. Licorice helps to trigger the chemical
compound interferon which
 is the body's virus fighting agent.
 
* Skin Problems: The health benefits of licorice also extend to internal and external skin diseases. Licorice has similar effects to hydrocortisone when applied topically and can be used to help fight dermatitis, eczema, and psoriasis . Licorice can also be used to help speed up the healing process of cold sores
 and has also been known to reduce
the pain associated with cold sores.
* Hepatitis: Research indicates that the use of Licorice can be effective in treating both chronic and acute hepatitis. The compound glycyrrhizin in licorice is used clinically in Japan was found to be an efficient treatment in both hepatitis B and hepatitis C patients. Licorice was as effective as alpha-interferon  and it did not cause the side effects
associated with alpha-interferon.

* Respiratory System: It has always been common practice to use licorice in the treatment of severe respiratory problems such as coughing,
asthma, sore throats, and bronchitis
 and modern research confirms these
 health benefits of licorice.


 * Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: It is not possible to combat the effects of stress without having healthy functioning adrenal glands. Licorice supports the adrenal glands and its compound glycyrrhizic helps to block the breakdown of cortisol which in turn raises cortisol levels helping the body to fight against stress and chronic fatigue syndrome.

* Cholesterol: A study on 20 students
showed that licorice makes LDL
cholesterol more resistant to oxidation.

!~¤§¦Side Effects of Licorice¦§¤~! 

Serious Side Effects of Licorice
Even though it seems like a harmless
 substance, licorice can cause some
 dangerous side effects.. These side
effects include but are not limited to:
 
* High blood pressure (hypertension)

* Signs of congestive heart
 failure (CHF), such as :

  ¤ Water retention
¤
Rapid weight gain
¤
Swelling of the feet or hands
¤ Difficulty breathing

  * Low blood potassium (hypokalemia)

* An irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia)

 * Severe muscle pain

 * Muscle weakness

 * Signs of an allergic reaction, such as:

¤ Rash
¤ Itching
¤ Hives
¤ Swelling of the mouth or throat
¤ Wheezing
¤ Difficulty breathing.

Many of the serious side effects of licorice are thought to be caused by one specific component of licorice, known as glycyrrhizin. Deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) products, which have had the glycyrrhizin component removed, may be less likely to cause these

  serious side effects.
