Licorice root extract is often used to relieve symptoms of indigestion, such as acid reflux, upset stomach, and heartburn.
It is also said to have a soothing effect on skin and helps to ease inflammation.
Licorice has been widely considered a natural remedy for stomach ulcers.
It may also help reduce symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (gerd).
The extract works by triggering the release of stomach-protecting mucus, which then protects the stomach lining from the digestive enzyme pepsin.
