This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Famous for its pungent, sweet flavor, licorice is essential in innumerable candy, confection, beverage and sauce recipes, and makes an estimable liqueur. Licorice is also a traditional herbal remedy. The sweet saponin glycyrrhizin occurs in the roots of Glycyrrhiza glabra, the original European source, and in Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Chinese licorice. Authorities treat the two as chemically and medicinally identical. As Grieve puts it, 'The Liquorice of medicine and commerce is derived from the sweet root of various species of Glycyrrhiza, a genus which contains about fourteen species, natives of warmer temperate countries in both the New and Old Worlds...' The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) 'For catarrhs of the upper respiratory tract and gastric/duodenal ulcers.' 'Side Effects: On prolonged use and with higher doses, mineralocorticoid effects may occur in the form of sodium and water retention and potassium loss, accompanied by hypertension, edema, and hypokalemia, and, in rare cases, myoglobinuria.' 'Average daily dosage: About 5 - 15 g of root, equivalent to 200 - 600 mg of glycyrrhizin; As Succus liquiritiae: 0.5 - 1 g for catarrhs of the upper respiratory tract, 1.5 - 3 g for gastric/duodenal ulcers; equivalent preparations.' 'Mode of Administration: Powdered root, finely cut root or dry extracts for infusions, decoctions, liquid or solid dosage forms for internal use (Succus liquiritiae). Duration of Administration: Not longer than 4 - 6 weeks without medical advice. There is no objection to using licorice root as a flavoring agent up to a maximum daily dosage equivalent to 100 mg glycyrrhizin.' 'Actions: According to controlled clinical studies, glycyrrhizic acid and the aglycone of glycyrrhizic acid accelerate the healing of gastric ulcers. Secretolytic and expectorant effects have been confirmed in tests on rabbits. In the isolated rabbit ileum, an antispasmodic action has been observed at concentrations of 1:2500 - 1:5000.' Although the Commission E lists severe liver disease as a contraindication, less severe liver disease can be helped by the use of licorice. Hepatoprotective licorice tea is widely used as a liver tonic in Japan. Licorice's triterpene glycyrrhizin has been shown to prevent liver injury from such agents as carbon tetrachloride, benzene hexachloride and PCB. Glycyrrhizin aids antibody production and inhibits the growth of several DNA and RNA viruses, irreversibly inactivating the Herpes simplex virus. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'The chief constituent of Liquorice root [Glycyrrhiza glabra], to which its sweet taste is due, is Glycyrrhizin (6 to 8 per cent), obtainable in the form of a sweet, white crystalline powder, consisting of the calcium and potassium salts of glycyrrhizic acid. The drug also contains sugar,
