Hilde Hemmes Herbal’s Liquorice Root 30s Tea Bags Hilde Hemmes

Product & Description

History reveals that liquorice was first documented in Assyrial clay tablets (c.a. 2500 B.C.E.) and Egyptian papyri. In Germany, liquorice root is licensed as standard medicinal tea for the relief of bronchial cough due to congestion in the upper respiratory tract. The main active substance is glycyrrhizinic acid, which has shown to accelerate the healing of gastric ulcers. The root naturally contains at least 4% glycyrrhizin, a compound that is about fifty times sweeter than sucrose.

I have included liquorice root in my herbal teabag range because it is a valuable alternative for the natural relief of mouth, gastric and intestinal ulcers. As a tea it makes an excellent adults-only herbal remedy for the relief of pain and discomfort of cramp-like disorders associated with chronic gastritis.

Medicinal Use:

Take to relieve cough symptoms due to bronchial congestion and catarrh in the upper respiratory tract, pain/discomfort of cramp-like disorders associated with chronic gastritis. Clinically, liquorice has been shown to promote the healing and relief of symptoms of mouth, gastric and intestinal ulcers. Claims are based on traditional use in western herbal medicine.

Infuse one or two teabags with one cup of boiling water, steep and cover for fifteen minutes.
