Most of us have chewed on a piece of confectionary black liquorice at some time in our lives, though you probably never regarded liquorice as a medicinal herb. History tell us that liquorice has been as much as a medicine as for its flavour.

The liquorice plant (Glycyrrhiza glabra) is a blue-flowering pea with violet blossoms and spiky leaves. It grows all over southern Europe and Asia including in Iraq, Turkey, Afghanistan, China and Russia. The black liquorice with which we’re familiar comes from the plant’s root.

Liquorice was revered thousands of years ago in China for its strength and vitality-giving properties. The Ancient Egyptians believed it endowed the recently deceased with the ability to keep evil spirits at bay. When Tutankhamen’s tomb was opened, pieces of liquorice were found in funeral jars among the kingly treasures.
