Licorice Root, Cut & Sifted (Organic)

Licorice root is one of the oldest and most widely used herbs in the world — appearing in ancient Egyptian, Chinese, Greek, and Ayurvedic traditions with a consistency that speaks to something real. Sweet, deeply soothing, and quietly complex, it is the herb that herbalists reach for when they need to harmonize a formula and has been doing exactly that for thousands of years.

Our licorice root is certified organic, cut and sifted — naturally sweet, with the characteristic warm, anise-like aroma and flavor that makes it one of the most recognizable herbs in the apothecary. Glycyrrhiza glabra — one of the most researched and beloved botanicals in the world herbal tradition.

Traditionally Used to Support

• Digestive wellness — a premier soothing herb for the digestive tract; traditionally used across European, Chinese, and Ayurvedic herbal traditions to support healthy gut comfort and mucous membrane integrity
• Respiratory wellness — a classic demulcent and expectorant herb; traditionally used to soothe the throat and support healthy respiratory comfort during seasonal challenges
• Adaptogenic support — traditionally used in Western and Ayurvedic herbalism to support the body’s natural resilience to everyday stress

How to Use

As a tea: Steep 1–2 teaspoons in 8 oz of just-boiled water for 10–15 minutes, covered. Naturally sweet and warming — one of the most pleasant single-herb teas in the apothecary. Pairs beautifully with ginger, cinnamon, and marshmallow root.

Blending: A classic formula harmonizer — licorice root rounds and sweetens other herbs and is a staple in digestive, respiratory, and adaptogenic blends.

Tincture: Macerate in high-proof alcohol for 4–6 weeks. A classic preparation for digestive and respiratory support.
