Mulethi Extract

?Licorice Root Extract or Liquorice, is the root of Glycyrrhiza glabra herb from which a sweet flavour can be extracted (named Glycyrrhizin) and is commonly called as Jesthimadh or Mulethi. The word licorice is derived (via the Old French licoresse) from the Greek glukurrhiza, meaning "sweet root". Roots contain glycyrrhizin, asparagin, sugar, starch, acid resin, gum, mucilage, phosphoric, sulfuric & malic acids. Bark contains a small quantity of tannins. Chewing on mulethi sticks is an age old remedy for sore throat. Its expectorant and bronchodilator properties help with conditions like whooping cough, asthma, dry cough and bronchitis. Mix ½ teaspoon ginger juice to mulethi tea, to soothe asthma and bronchial conditions.
