Dried Mulethi Root / Licorice Root (Glycyrrhiza Glabra)Native of Natural offers Premium Dried Mulethi Root (Glycyrrhiza glabra), globally known as Licorice Root. This is one of the oldest and most widely consumed herbal remedies in the world, highly valued in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine for its distinct sweet flavor (up to 50 times sweeter than sugar) and its remarkable properties as a demulcent, expectorant, and adaptogen.
The root contains the key active compound, Glycyrrhizin (or Glycyrrhizic Acid), which is responsible for both its sweetness and its soothing effects on the throat, stomach, and respiratory passages. Our dried roots are carefully processed to ensure high levels of this active constituent.
