While licorice root has many beneficial properties, be careful not to overdo it (both by taking too high of a dose or by taking it for too long). The active ingredient, glycyrrhiza, if taken in excess, can lead to pseudoaldosteronism, which may cause headaches, fatigue, high blood pressure, and other conditions. Do not take this herb by women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Licorice, also known as European licorice and common licorice, is an herb and spice produced from the underground rhizome of a plant in the legume family. The herb's genus name comes from the Greek words glykys and rhiza, which respectively mean "sweet" and "root." The combination also inspired the name for the primary constituent of licorice-glycyrrhizin. The sweet flavor of licorice root has been enjoyed for centuries throughout Europe and the Mediterranean region, starting with the ancient Romans and Egyptians. Licorice is a perennial plant in the bean family found in certain parts of Europe and Asia. The plant grows on a spreading root system that consists of fibrous, wood-like parts that branch out horizontally under the ground. The root, sometimes referred to as sweet root, yields a sweetness many times more potent than that of ordinary sugar. This characteristic is why licorice root is used in making various confections, including the popular rope-like sweet treat. Licorice root is also used to make lozenges, syrups and teas.
