🧠7. Cognitive and Mood Benefits
Emerging research suggests licorice flavonoids may help protect brain cells and enhance mood by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress in the brain.
⚠️ Note of Caution
Licorice root can raise blood pressure and affect potassium levels if taken in high doses or for long periods. People with heart disease, hypertension, or kidney issues should use it cautiously or opt for DGL licorice, which has the glycyrrhizin removed.
Would you like me to recommend specific ways to use licorice root (e.g., tea, extracts, chewing sticks, etc.) depending on your health goal?
