The licorice plant is a native to southern Europe and central Asia. It gets its common name from a Greek word meaning "sweet root," an appropriate description for the herb that is said to be 50 times sweeter than sugar. Nowadays, it is widely cultivated for the use in commercial products, such as making candies and for food flavorings. This herb has long been valued as a demulcent (soothing, coating agent) and expectorant (rids phlegm and mucous from the respiratory tract). Licorice is also made up of beneficial components such as phytochemicals, magnesium, and sodium.
