Some studies have suggested that it may be helpful in reducing blood pressure and improving blood flow to the brain.

  Description:

  Licorice, also known as glycyrrhiza, is a plant native to parts of Europe, Asia, and the Mediterranean region.

Licorice has a number of purported health benefits, including the ability to soothe sore throats, reduce inflammation, and improve digestive problems. It may also have antiviral and antibacterial properties. Licorice naturally contains glycyrrhizin, or glycyrrhizic acid, which can have toxic effects if consumed in large amounts. However, licorice can be processed to remove glycyrrhizin, resulting in DGL (deglycyrrhizinated licorice). Many dietary supplements that contain deglycyrrhizinated licorice are often simply named 'DGL'.
