a good practice to use while quitting smoking. Licorice is added to love and lust sachets, carried to
attract love and used in spells to ensure fidelity. Licorice sticks make useful wands.
Did You Know? (Background)
Licorice has been known as a sweet additive that is used in all types of candy. It is thought to be as much
as 50 times sweeter than sugar. However, licorice has many more valuable uses than as a sweetening
agent.
Licorice is a powerful anti-inflammatory that can help to sooth arthritis. It also works to help the stomach
make more mucus for its lining. This reduces problems with upset stomach, ulcers, and acid indigestion.
As you'll see, licorice can be a valuable herbal medication for your overall good health.
Safety
If you have anemia, high blood pressure, or are pregnant, you should not take licorice
because not everything can be learned in a book
