Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) has been a staple in traditional medicine for centuries, celebrated for its broad spectrum of therapeutic benefits. The root, known for its sweet flavor and versatility, is rich in bioactive compounds, with glycyrrhizin being the most prominent. Upon ingestion, glycyrrhizin is metabolized into glycyrrhetic acid, a potent inhibitor of the enzyme 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11β-HSD), which plays a crucial role in corticosteroid metabolism. As a result, licorice exhibits corticosteroid-like effects, offering anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidative, and anti-allergenic properties. These pharmacological actions make it a valuable ingredient in the treatment of liver disorders, gastrointestinal issues, skin diseases, and even oral health.

Licorice’s applications extend beyond medicinal use, as it is also incorporated into candies, gums, alcoholic beverages, and food supplements. While the plant offers multiple health benefits, its potent activity, particularly its mineralocorticoid-like effects, can lead to potential risks when used excessively. Chronic consumption of licorice may result in side effects such as hypokalemia and hypertension, especially in individuals who are more sensitive to its active compounds[1].
