Licorice root powder (Glycyrrhiza glabra) is a finely ground form of one of the most widely used herbs in traditional medicine worldwide. This certified organic licorice powder has the same distinctive natural sweetness as the whole root, around 50 times sweeter than sugar, but in a convenient powder form that dissolves easily into teas, smoothies, golden milk blends, and cooking. Licorice root is traditionally used to support digestive comfort and soothe the throat.
Key Benefits
- Versatile powder form: Dissolves easily into hot drinks, smoothies, baking, and cooking. No simmering required, unlike whole licorice root. Simply stir into warm water for an instant licorice tea.
- Digestive comfort: Traditionally used to support healthy digestive function and help soothe the lining of the upper digestive tract. Valued in both Ayurvedic and Chinese herbal traditions for thousands of years.
- Natural sweetener: Add a pinch to any herbal blend for natural sweetness without sugar. Particularly useful for mellowing bitter or earthy teas.
- DIY skincare: Licorice root powder is a popular ingredient in face masks, scrubs, and skin preparations. Traditionally valued for its soothing properties on the skin.
- Certified organic: Ground from certified organic licorice root, grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers.
Quick licorice tea: Stir half to one teaspoon of licorice root powder into a cup of hot water. Add honey if desired, though the natural sweetness often makes this unnecessary. Blends beautifully with Ginger Root for a warming digestive tea.
Blending and cooking: Add a quarter teaspoon to smoothies, golden milk, or chai blends. Use in baking to add a subtle sweetness and depth. Combines well with Turmeric Powder in anti-inflammatory golden paste recipes.
Skincare: Mix a teaspoon with honey or yoghurt for a simple face mask. Combine with Orris Root Powder for a dry shampoo or body powder blend.
The botanical name Glycyrrhiza comes from the Greek words for "sweet root." In Traditional Chinese Medicine, licorice root is known as the "Great Harmoniser" and appears in around 60% of all classical Chinese prescriptions, valued for its ability to enhance other herbs in a formula.
Licorice root is not classified as toxic to dogs or cats in small amounts. However, the compound glycyrrhizin can be harmful to pets in large quantities, so keep the powder stored out of reach.
